Applying for Degree

Before you apply to graduate, please read the following information as you may need to take additional steps before proceeding.

Update your Diploma Name and Address

Please make any updates to your diploma name and/or address before submitting your degree application. You can do this via your student portal at MyU, “My Info” tab. If you have not entered a diploma name and address, we will use your primary name for your diploma name, and your diploma will be mailed to your permanent address.

Selecting your Graduation Term

You can apply to graduate for fall (December), spring (May), or summer (August) semesters. If you intend to graduate at the end of June or July please contact Jennifer Neufeld, Medical School Registrar, at neuf0006@umn.edu to ensure your degree is posted correctly.

Degrees are cleared by the Medical School Registrar and then awarded and posted to the transcript by the university registrar's office approximately two weeks later.
