Mark your calendars for important spring graduation deadlines, funding opportunities, events and professional development workshops.


Graduation Deadlines

March 1

Graduate students must apply online to graduate through buff portal on the “apply for graduation” card in order to have the degree awarded in May. This is required whether you plan to attend the university-wide ceremony or not. PhD students must enter their dissertation title as part of the online graduation application; you may update the title through the portal until this date. This title will appear on your transcript after your degree is awarded.

March 1 (final deadline)

Master's students who have not done so must submit to the Graduate School a Candidacy Application for an Advanced Degree. Applications follow a workflow process and must be approved by the academic department before they are directed to the Graduate School.

Preview other quickly approaching spring graduation deadlines on the Graduate School website.
