APPLICATION FOR DEGREE 

Students must submit master's degree requests on the web. Students may submit a request from the 1st day of the quarter they expect to graduate until the Sunday (midnight Pacific Time) of the 7th week of the quarter they expect to graduate.  If students miss the deadline, they may submit a request until the Sunday (midnight Pacific Time) of the 9th week of the quarter they expect to graduate if they pay a $250 graduate degree late fee.  If degree requirements are not met in the requested quarter and/or students neglect to pay the late fee, they must submit another degree request for the quarter in which they expect to complete requirements.

Master's Degree Request Schedule:

Autumn/Winter/Spring Quarters: 

Weeks 1-7 are considered as filing the Request on time
Weeks 8-9 are considered as filing the Request late, and the graduate degree late fee is imposed
Weeks 10-11 the Request system is closed and no Requests are accepted. The next option is to graduate during the following quarter.

Summer Quarter:

Weeks 1-6 are considered as filing the Request on time
Week 7 is considered as filing the Request late, and the graduate degree late fee is imposed
Weeks 8-9 the Request system is closed and no Requests are accepted. The next option is to graduate during the following quarter.

When completing the Master's Degree Request, the program will automatically run a degree audit to inform the students of any unsatisfied Graduate School requirements.

Students will receive an email confirming receipt of their Master's Degree Request and the students' departments are notified through MyGradProgram - Department View that a request has been submitted.

Authorized departmental users enter department contingencies into MyGradProgram and can elect to send an e-mail to the students to notify them of the departmental contingencies. Authorized departmental users will print the Master's Degree warrants and the warrants will be routed to the students' master's committees in a manner determined by the department.

By signing the Master's Degree warrants, the students' committees certify that the students have met all departmental requirements for the degree (except the thesis if one is required) and the warrants must be placed in the students' department file.

Once the warrants have been signed, the Graduate Program Coordinator will recommend whether or not the students are to graduate that quarter and these recommendations are conveyed to the Graduate School through MyGradProgram by the Sunday (midnight Pacific Time) following the end of the quarter. E-mails are sent to the students notifying them that their departments have made a recommendation on their request.

Once the Graduate School receives the degree request recommendation, a final transcript audit and a review to determine if all Graduate School and department contingencies are met, will be completed by Graduate School staff.

The Graduate School enters the final graduation decision into MyGradProgram, e-mail notifications are sent to the students informing them of their graduation status, and the Graduate Program Coordinator can view their quarter graduation list in MyGradProgram.
