Graduating

If you plan to graduate from the University of Houston-Downtown, you must file an application for graduation with the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Deadlines for CHSS majors' applications for graduation can be found on the academic calendar for a given term under the Graduation Application Dates section.

Note: The deadlines for students planning to complete requirements in a Winter or May term would be the same as for a student planning to complete in a Fall or Spring term respectively.

If you do not complete the requirements for the degree in the current semester, you must reapply.

Watch a video about the application process.

To apply for graduation:

• File an Application for Graduation in 1001 South with an academic advisor. Students receive an email in their gatormail account from the CHSS Advising Center two to three weeks after their advisors submit their applications for graduation.
• Complete a Diploma Order Form. Pay the $50 graduation application fee at the Cashier’s Office (S310). For more information, see this site. If you wish to mail in your Diploma Order Form to the Registar's office, please include a check or money order. If you wish to pay in person, please pay your fee at the Cashier's Office before submitting your form.
• Commencement Information

Diplomas are sent through Certified Mail to the address indicated in your UH-Downtown records, unless otherwise specified. If no one is available to sign for your diploma upon delivery, it will be returned to the Post Office and held for approximately four (4) weeks. If you are not able to pick up your diploma from the Post Office within that time-frame, it will be returned to UH-Downtown's Registrar's Office where you will be able to pick up your diploma in person with a photo ID.  Please call the Register’s Office at 713-221-8999 prior to picking up your diploma.

Diplomas are available approximately three (3) months after the Official Close of the Semester.

See the UH-D catalog for a detailed explanation of Graduation Requirements.
