To apply for Graduation, you will need to log into your Jagwire account. Under the "Classes and Registration" tab, you will find the link to apply under the "Graduation Services" heading. It is important to review your Degree Works and meet with your academic advisor prior to submitting your application so you know if you will be eligible to graduate under the semester you are applying for.
Once submitted, your application will automatically be sent to our office. Please be sure to send your most updated contact information when filling out your application, so we may contact you if we need more details on your application.

Graduation Application Fee:  Master's or Bachelor's $50.00
The application fee is automatically added to your student billing statement when you apply. You may take care of the fee in Jagwire under the MoneyConnect portal. Please note the fee deadlines under the Important Dates link on our website.

What Happens After I Apply?

Name Used On Your Diploma

Diplomas will be printed with the legal name on file unless specified in the graduation application. In the application, you will be able to input a different first name if you chose or select the name on file. If you chose to use a different first name on the graduation application, this will appear on your diploma. If you wish to update your name to include any accent marks, (EX: ñ, é, etc in either middle or last name), add a middle name or additional last names, the change of name form will be needed to update your name along with the required documentation stated on the form.
If the documentation does not include the accent marks in your change of name request, we cannot complete the request (Ex: if your State issued ID or birth certificate shows last name as Fernandez and you wish to change it to Fernández, the change will not be made). The form and documentation will need to be submitted no later than two months prior to the commencement ceremony in the semester you will be graduating in to be updated. The change of name form along with the documentation can be emailed to registrar@tamusa.edu for processing.
