If you have successfully completed all of your academic requirements, and do not have
an outstanding balance with the university, your diplomas will be mailed out, from
JOSTENS, 8-10 weeks after the last day of semester (after final grades are posted).
Please DO NOT contact JOSTENS directly.
Log into MyLaw. Click on Academic Records > Apply for Graduation. Follow the
prompts to confirm your degree credentials and select your expected graduation term
and then hit "Submit Application."
Check here to make sure the application has opened for the current semester and/or
has not already closed for the current semester. If the application has already closed,
you will need to wait until the following semester to apply or you can contact the
Registrar at 214-752-5973.
Graduation refers to the process in which students apply for their degree to be awarded at the end of the semester. The Registrar office will complete final audits of student degrees. If the final audit is approved then students will be awarded a degree and a diploma will be mailed.
Commencement refers to the event held by the institution to celebrate students’ graduation.
Commencement includes the public conferring of degrees, walking across the stage,
and receiving a UNT Dallas diploma cover. Walking in commencement does not guarantee
that a student has graduated. Some students may walk across the stage and appear in
the commencement program while not having graduated yet.
No, walking in the commencement ceremony does not guarantee that you have graduated.
Graduation is based on the successful completion of your degree requirements.
You can order your regalia, invitations, and other graduation related items through
JOSTENS. A couple of months after the start of the semester, you will be contacted
by UNTD student email, with additional information, including the ordering link from
JOSTENS, as well as the days and times JOSTENS will be on campus.
Students who have not yet applied for graduation may contact the Office of the Registrar
at 214-752-5973 or at lawregistrar@untdallas.edu for more information. Any students
who are approved late through appeal are not guaranteed to have their name printed
in the commencement program.
The awarding of degrees does not occur until after the last day of the semester, grades
are posted, and all academic requirements are met. This often occurs 2 – 4 weeks after
commencement.
Yes. Students who elect not to participate in commencement will still have their degree
awarded approximately 2-4 weeks after the last day of class, and will also receive
their diploma 8-10 weeks after their degree has been awarded.
Yes, guests will need a ticket to attend the commencement ceremony. A few months
before commencement, you will be contacted by UNTD student email, that will detail
when and where you can pick up tickets for your guests.
No, commencement is only held in May. If you will have enough credits to graduate
in the immediately following summer or fall, you may participate in the May graduation
ceremony.
If you are within 4 semester credit hours of completing your graduation requirements,
you can sit for the Bar Exam.
Please complete the Diploma Order form found here. Once you have completed the form,
bring in person or email it to lawregistrar@untdallas.edu. Requests for additional
diplomas are sent to and mailed from JOSTENS 3 times a year (January, May and August)
and can take up to 6-8 weeks for delivery. Please DO NOT contact JOSTENS directly.
Contact the Office of the Registrar by phone at 214-752-5973, by email at lawregistrar@untdallas.edu, or in person in the Law Center, suite 140.
