Completion of Masters Requirements

When the student's department determines that the student has completed all degree requirements, a Completion of Master's Degree Requirements form, signed by the three faculty members of the student's committee will be submitted to the Graduate College. Master's committees must consist of three members; at least two must be tenure-track UA faculty members. If the third member is not a tenure-track UA faculty member, he or she must be approved by the Graduate College as a special member. All grades for Incompletes and current semester coursework must be received before the degree is considered completed. A student must have a cumulative GPA in all graduate coursework of at least 3.000 in order to graduate. Approval of the Completion of Degree Requirements form by the Dean of the Graduate College will certify completion of degree requirements.

For dates by which requirements must be met to graduate in a particular semester, refer to the Deadline Sheets, available in departments, in the Graduate Degree Certification Office, and online at Graduate College Deadlines.

Modifications in the Plan of Study may be made on the Completion of Degree Requirement form or on the Changes in Student's Records form. Name changes require that an official name change be filed with the Registrar's Office. Any financial encumbrances will delay mailing of the diploma and transcripts.
