All expected graduates must submit an intent to graduate form (and upper division form if required by the college) to be added to a graduation list. It is strongly recommended that all expected graduates meet with their college advisor before submitting graduation paperwork. All students should regularly review their degree audit on DegreeWorks (click button below) to confirm all degree requirements will be met during the graduating term marked on the intent to graduate form.
All undergraduate students are expected to file their Intent to Graduate (and upper-division form if required by their college) two semesters before the intended graduation term. To complete the forms you may want to schedule an advising appointment with your College advisor.
If you have missed the deadline, please complete your paperwork with your College advisor immediately and submit forms to your Graduation Analyst (found below in the College Advising Offices tab) for consideration.
It is strongly recommended that you meet with your college advisor to review your DegreeWorks audit to ensure you are on track for the graduation term marked on your intent to graduate form.
Undergraduate students may drop off the intent to graduate form and upper division form (if required by your college) at your college’s advising office, or scan and email the forms to your college advisor.
The colleges not requiring an upper division form are the College of Basic & Applied Sciences, College of Behavioral & Health Sciences, College of Education, College of Liberal Arts, College of Media & Entertainment and University College. Expected graduates in these colleges are only required to submit the intent to graduate form.
The college that requires both an intent to graduate form and upper division form is the Jennings A. Jones College of Business. Expected graduates from this college must submit the intent to graduate and upper division forms together to the appropriate advising office or to your college advisor.

Graduate students that need to be removed from a current graduation list must submit an online request to withdraw intent to graduate form.
Graduate students completing a thesis or dissertation may find information regarding this process on the College of Graduate Studies website.
If an undergraduate student is on a current graduation list, but did not complete all degree requirements, the student must contact their college advisor or college graduation analyst. The student should request to be moved to a future graduation term based upon planned future registration. If the student does not email a request to be moved to a future graduation term, the graduation analyst may either remove the student from future graduation lists or move the student to a future graduation term. The graduation analyst will email the student an explanation of their new graduation status. It is the student’s responsibility to actively monitor their MTSU email and review their DegreeWorks audit to confirm any missing or unmet degree requirements and contact their college advisor or graduation analyst if they have any questions or a change in graduation status.
