Application Deadlines
Students applying for degree or certificate must be registered for coursework (or continuous enrollment) in the semester in which they intend to complete all academic requirements.
Requirements must be completed prior to the published graduation date for that semester. If your coursework ends after the graduation date for the semester then you should register and apply for the following semester. Candidates for doctoral degrees may have earlier deadlines for completion of their degree requirements and should verify the ETD submission date with their department.
