ATTENTION: All Graduate Students in Degree-Granting Programs
RE: Applying to Graduate this December (at end of the Fall 2024 semester)
As noted in the Fall 2024 Academic Calendar, the deadline to apply for graduation this Fall (for December 2024) is Friday, September 27th.
Apply to Graduate (Application for Degree)
If you plan to graduate in December 2024, and have not already done so, please follow the online application for degree instructions and submit the Application for Degree form via ESTHER.
Academic Progress
As noted in the General Announcements, "Students are responsible for making certain that their plan of study meets all degree and program requirements.” Students should regularly meet with their faculty advisor(s). To complement advising, non-thesis students can also review their academic progress using the Degree Works tool available in ESTHER.
Declaration or Change of a Major Concentration or a Graduate Certificate
If for some reason you have not already declared a major concentration or a graduate certificate that you intend to complete upon graduation, please do so as soon as possible. The appropriate forms are available via ESTHER. After obtaining the appropriate signature(s), sign and submit the form to the Office of the Registrar via email to registrar@rice.edu or in person.
Additional Deadlines
With other related deadlines and the submission of needed academic forms, please coordinate with your graduate program administrator for assistance.
More information on Graduation and/or Preparing for Graduation can be found on the Office of the Registrar website.
Thank you . . .
