Graduation

Prior to graduation, students must complete the following:

Step 1: Check your audit

DegreeWorks is the definitive record for graduation clearance.  Students may access DegreeWorks via http://my.uncc.edu. Students are encouraged to routinely check their degree progress in DegreeWorks.

Step 2: Meet with your advisor

Prior to the final term, all students are encouraged to schedule an appointment to meet with their advisor and/or graduate program director.  It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that he/she is making satisfactory progress towards graduation, based on the program requirements outlined in DegreeWorks and any additional directions issued by the graduate program.

Step 3: Enroll

Per academic policy, all students must be enrolled in the term of graduation, even if all degree/certificate requirements have been met.

STEP 4: Apply for Graduation

All students (doctoral, master’s, certificate) must apply for graduation by the published deadline in the final term. Students who fail to apply for graduation by the published deadline will not be evaluated for graduation and will be ineligible to participate in the commencement ceremony.

How do I submit the ‘Online Graduation Application’?

  1. Log in to my.uncc.edu.
  2. Under Academic Resources, select ‘Student Records’.
  3. Under ‘Student Records’, select ‘Online Graduation Application’.
  4. Click "Continue" if this is the first time a graduation application has been submitted or "Create a New Application" if one has been submitted previously.
  5. After all, sections are complete, click the "Submit" button.

The ‘Online Graduation Application’ triggers a review of your academic progress by the Graduate School.  Students who apply to graduate but appear short of meeting all degree/certificate requirements will be notified by email.  As the definitive record for graduation clearance, your individual DegreeWorks audit must reflect that you are on track to graduate in a given term.

STEP 5: update your contact information
