Important Things to do and Dates to Remember:
Declare your graduation date - Anticipated Graduation Date forms may be submitted at any time, but should be submitted as early in the term of graduation as possible. A Program of Study/CAPP audit, and Committee Assignment (if required) and Preliminary Examination Results forms (doctoral students only) must be on file before the Anticipated Graduation Date form will be processed. Upon receipt of the form, your Degree Analyst will verify that all course requirements have been met. If discrepancies are found, the Degree Analyst will contact you with instructions on how to resolve them. Your Degree Analyst will also verify that you have registered for a minimum of one semester hour for the current semester. If you have questions, please contact the appropriate Degree Analyst.
Any change in your graduation date should be reported in writing immediately to your Degree Analyst.

The deadline for submission of all graduate student graduation paperwork (including submission of the thesis or dissertation) is the last day of classes for the semester: August 9, 2013, 5:00 pm.
Following the defense and when all committee signatures have been secured (note: committee chairs may delay signature until all necessary changes to the thesis/dissertation/non-thesis paperwork have been made and approved), submit the form to the Office of the Registrar.
After submission of the Report of Final Examination Results form indicating all changes/revision have been made and the thesis/dissertation is approved for final submission, student will submit the document for format review and final electronic publication to ProQuest. You will be advised if additional corrections are required.
If you have not previously done so, pay your graduation fees online or at the Cashier's Office, Knight Hall 170. Thesis/Dissertation publication fees will be made directly to ProQuest.
Ph.D. students only: Complete the NORC national survey of doctoral students. This is done using the Survey of Earned Doctorates on the NORC website. At the end of the survey, you will be prompted to send an email indicating completion of the survey. Please send this email to registrar@uwyo.edu.
