Late Degree Information
To be added to the degree candidate list after the deadline for the current term, undergraduate students must petition their college dean's office by the last day of classes. Please follow the instructions below and retain them for future reference.
Graduate Students
- Complete the late application for degree (pages 1 and 3 only). The Graduate School dean's office in 106 Grinter Hall will approve the application. Graduate students do not have to fill out a petition. Graduate students who apply after the mid-point of the term must apply to graduate the following term. Check with the Graduate School for the late degree application deadline.
- Please return the approved application to 222 Criser Hall.
All Other Students
- Complete the late application for degree (all three pages) and a petition, which is on the back of the late degree application, and submit the forms to your college dean's office for approval.
- Please return the approved application to 222 Criser Hall.
Important Information for all Applicants

Your degree information must be available electronically tn the bookstore before they can process your regalia information. Please contact the customer service desk at the UF Bookstore in the Reitz Union for additional regalia information.
- Because you are applying after the deadline, there is a possibility that your name will not appear in the commencement program.
