Use the check list to make sure you have completed the necessary steps to graduating: Have you been admitted to the Graduate School? Have you submitted all required credentials (official transcripts)? Have you a 36-hour degree plan on file in the Dean of the Perkins College of Education's office? Have you completed all coursework with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better? Have you applied for graduation and paid all graduation fees by the deadline stated in the Graduate Bulletin? Have you removed all deficiencies? Graduate candidates in the Elementary Education Department demonstrate responsibility for becoming familiar with and adhering to the regulations for admission, academic policies, application for graduation, and general requirements for the Master's Degree.
