All students planning to graduate at the end of the current semester may file applications for degrees online through Howdy. Term specific deadlines can be found in the Application Deadlines section below or on the Academic Calendar.
When applying through Howdy, students should navigate to the "My Record" tab and locate the channel/maroon box titled "Degree Evaluation." The link for the
Application for Graduation and Graduation Status Check will be the first link in the channel.
This online application system will be accessible 24 hours a day, every day, until 11:59 p.m. on the day before pre-registration for the next term(s) during fall or spring semesters, or the first Friday of the second summer term during the summer. After that time, students must submit a paper graduation application to the Office of the Registrar for the current term.
A non-refundable diploma fee of $47.50 is assessed for each graduation application submitted by students in all colleges EXCEPT, School of Dentistry, Irma Lerma Rangel School of Pharmacy, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, and School of Public Health (which are assessed a $100 graduation fee).
Students who are permitted to apply after the initial deadline (see academic calendar) will be charged an additional $50 late application fee per degree.
