Students apply for graduation during their final semester at UT before the mid-semester deadline (same as the Q-drop deadline).

August graduates who want to walk in the May ceremony, and are within 12 hours of graduation after their Spring semester, should complete the Application to Participate in Commencement Ceremony (Walk Application) during the spring semester, and then complete the Graduation Application during the summer semester.

Students completing their UT degree requirements at another institution must apply to graduate "In Absentia."
