Application to Candidacy & Graduation
Applying for Your Degree
Students are now able to complete and submit the Masters Graduation Application Form
on-line through the Graduate School's web site. The instructions, policies and forms needed for graduation can be found on the online at the Graduate Schools forms page 
CS graduate students should follow these steps:
- Request a degree check from the CS Graduate Office the semester BEFORE you plan to finish the Masters degree requirements. The graduate office usually does these in mid to late October and mid to late March. The degree check will show up in UTDirect.
- The semester you plan to graduate submit the online Application to Graduate form by the required deadline. An email will be generated to the graduate office and your program of work will be checked for background requirements, major (CS) coursework, and minor courses. When the graduate office completes this check, the program of work will automatically be routed to the Graduate Adviser for approval and to the Graduate School degree evaluator for final approval.
