you that they have been posted to your account and need to be paid. It may take 10-14

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.
