Students who wish to apply for candidacy for graduation must file a graduation card, or use the on-line Candidacy for Graduation Form, by December 1 for December completions and April 1 for May and August graduation. Students are asked to meet with their faculty advisors first to avoid any unfortunate surprises in the spring; however, students are ultimately responsible for being aware of program requirements which are published in the UMA catalog. Information is also available through the Advising Center, Divisional Offices, Academic Advisor, or your Center.
