Application Instructions

The application can be accessed through your MyLeo portal under the APPS tab. Complete the application as accurately and completely as possible. You will receive a confirmation email after you submit it.

There is a $40 graduation application fee, which does not include the cost of your cap and gown (that will need to be purchased separately). The $40 fee will be added to your student account and must be paid in order to receive your diploma at the end of the semester. You can pay the fee by contacting Student Accounts at 903.886.5044 or through your MyLEO account in the LeoPay portal.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

  • Make sure to enter your name as you want it shown on your diploma. If you have a suffix such as Jr. or I, II, III etc., please follow this example:
    John David Smith, Jr. or John David Smith II
  • If you do not want the suffix included at all, please mark accordingly under “omit name suffix”.
  • If you only want your middle initial rather than the full name, please follow this example:
    John D. Smith
    (make sure to include the period after the initial)
  • If you do not want your middle name listed at all, please indicate accordingly.
  • Please indicate whether you will attend the ceremony (this option is not available to doctoral students). If you change your mind prior to graduation, you can email the graduation office at graduation@tamuc.edu.
  • If you indicated you plan to attend the ceremony, you will then be prompted to enter your height and weight using feet, inches, and pounds. (A metric conversion chart has been provided for you below.) If you are a doctoral student, you will not be given the option to attend, so you will not be prompted to enter any height and weight information. (Metric Conversion Chart is below)
  • Make sure your student level, college, degree, and major are correct.
  • Make sure the address you enter is where you want your diploma to be mailed (unless you will be picking it up from our office).

TWO-STEP CLEARANCE PROCESS

Your application will go through a two-step process that could take anywhere from 3-12 weeks depending on when your application was received and if there are any issues with your DegreeWorks audit.

Please contact your advisor first with questions about your application status.

  1. Your advisor will complete an initial check of your degree requirements and submit it to the graduation office.
  2. The graduation office will do a second check of your degree requirements and email you with the results.
