them. Alternately, you can wait to receive an email from the Graduation Office alerting
you that they have been posted to your account and need to be paid. It may take 10-14

First and foremost, because your degree plan lets TGS know the course work your department
has approved for completion of your degree. Your application cannot be processed without
a degree plan. Second, to make sure that the coursework listed on your plan is the
coursework you have actually completed to fulfill your degree requirements. It is
to your benefit to review your plan with your advisor so if any changes need to be
made you will have time to make them.
Please notify the Graduate School so your application materials can be forwarded to
the next semester. Filing deadlines are available on the
Graduation page.
Exceptions to the deadline will only be made if your professor contacts the Graduate
School explaining why the deadline cannot be met and when the grade will actually
be submitted. Exceptions are not automatically granted, so please adhere to the published
deadlines if at all possible.

Students who complete graduate work at another institution to be applied towards a
UNT graduate degree must furnish a complete official transcript of transfer work to
the Graduate School. No commitment can be made by UNT concerning the applicability
of such work until official records have been received and evaluated.
Due to the time required for receipt and evaluation of transcripts, students who are
completing their last course(s) elsewhere will not graduate during the same semester,
but will be processed for the next graduation term.
If your mentoring faculty mentor cannot attend the Doctoral and Master Commencement
Ceremony, you may select another member of your committee or work with your department
and/or committee to identify a UNT faculty member that is available. Please identify
that individual in your online RSVP to the ceremony so that the Graduate School can
send the individual ceremony information. If you encounter any issues identifying
a faculty hooder, please contact the graduate school at (940) 369-5813.
