Preparing for Graduation
It is the responsibility of the candidate to apply for graduation online in My Student Center the semester prior to anticipated graduation. Students may expect to receive an email through their UTHSCSA liveMail accounts once the application is available to them for completion. Note that the email will reach students in the term preceding their scheduled term of graduation. (For example, students expecting to graduate in the spring will receive an email prompt in the fall.) Failure to receive and/or read said email is not grounds for failing to apply for graduation online. Degrees/certificates will not be awarded without an application.
Online submission of the Application for Graduation will prompt an audit of your academic record to ensure you are eligible to graduate and have completed all requirements to receive your award. Information provided by the student is used in commencement programs. Your degree will be published using your full legal name.
