A student is considered eligible to graduate when their degree audit is 100% complete. If you would like to appeal your graduation, you may submit an application; please be prepared to provide documentation supporting how and why your extenuating circumstance deserves consideration of an exception to university procedure.
All cases are reviewed holistically and will consider university policy and federal and state laws, including financial aid eligibility and visa status for international students. All students must submit an appeal to be considered.
Appeals are automatically granted for students who have yet to complete eight consecutive semesters within four years of their first semester enrolled, or within six consecutive semesters within three years of their first semester enrolled for transfer students. All students must submit an application for their appeal to be considered. Also note that earning a degree and diploma does not prohibit students from continuing to take coursework at UT. Courses taken after earning your degree will still contribute to the student's GPA.
The Spring 2025 Graduation Appeal Application is now open. The deadline for submission is 5pm on Monday, April 28. If you have any questions about the graduation appeal process, please contact studentsuccess@utexas.edu. You can submit an appeal here:
