Degree Application Form

Log in to the UF Office of the Registrar’s ISIS website to fill out a degree application online before the deadline of your graduating semester. For deadlines, click here: Critical Dates.

Degree Certification Status Verification Form

This service is provided until 3 weeks before graduation. However, students who before that time have completed all requirements for the degree, filed the fully signed final examination report in GIMS and achieved final clearance of the thesis or dissertation, may request verification to that effect. Verification of Degree Candidate Status Request Forms are filled out by the candidate; signed by the supervisory committee chair, department chair, college dean, and the Graduate School Editorial Office (224 HUB); then given to Graduate Student Records (106 Grinter), for verification and processing.

Although a student may have fulfilled academic requirements, the degree is not awarded until the Graduate School certifies the degree to the University Registrar. That is done at the end of Fall, Spring, and Summer C terms for all students who completed degree requirements and applied to graduate. Some employers and licensure boards require the degree statement on the transcript, which is available about 3 days after certification in December, May, and August.

Fellowship/Assistantship Application Form

Fill out this form and submit it to the chair of your department if you are applying for a fellowship or assistantship.

Late Degree Application Form

If you miss the degree application deadline for the semester in which you planned on graduating, fill out this form, get UF Graduate School approval for it, and then submit it to the UF Office of the Registrar before the semester midpoint published in the Critical Dates section of the UF Graduate Catalog. If you miss the semester midpoint deadline for this form, you must graduate the following semester by submitting a degree application form for that semester.

Recommendation Letter Form

Use this form if you are applying to the UF Graduate School. Recommendation letters are to be mailed directly to the department to whose master’s degree or doctoral degree program you are applying: College and Department Links.

Traveling Scholar Form

Fill out this form according to its instructions if you are applying to participate in the UF Traveling Scholar Program as a UF graduate student attending an institution of higher learning elsewhere, either within the Florida State University System or outside of the Florida State University System — but within the United States.
