Graduate School degrees are awarded monthly; the Application
for Degree must be turned in to One Stop Student Services, 200 Fraser Hall (East
Bank) or 130 Coffey Hall (St. Paul) on or before the first working day
of the intended month of graduation. For master's and certificate students, an e-mail notification will be sent
to your University e-mail account by the third week of the month you applied
to graduate regarding your graduation status. If you do not check your
University of Minnesota assigned e-mail on a regular basis, you need to
forward it to the account you check regularly. You can do this at https://www.umn.edu/dirtools
 .
Click on "Set E-mail Forwarding and Autoreply" and follow the
instructions given. All other Graduate School requirements must be completed
by the last working day of the intended month of graduation. Graduating
in any month before the end of the term may affect your eligibility for
student loans, housing, etc.; check with the appropriate office if you
have questions. The award of the degree should appear on the transcript
within two to three weeks following graduation. The diploma will be mailed from
the Registrar's office four to six weeks after graduation. Graduate
School commencement ceremonies are held in fall and spring terms. If you
wish to participate in commencement, contact the Graduate School, 316
Johnston Hall, one term in advance of the ceremony. Attending a ceremony
does not imply that you have officially graduated.
