All students planning to graduate at the end of the current semester must file graduation applications for their degree(s) 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 search for the
Graduation Application and Status Check to submit their application.
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, College of Dentistry, College of Medicine, College of Nursing, Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy, 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.
