Graduation ceremonies are conducted by the individual schools of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. The Office of Student Affairs at the school determines who shall participate in these exercises.

The size of your diploma will be approximately 12" X 16".

All students expecting to graduate must submit an Application for Degree Form to the Office of the Registrar during registration for classes for the term you expect to complete requirements for the degree. The Graduation Fee published in the Tuition and Fee Schedule will be assessed at this time. The fee is non-refundable. Forms may be available from the Office of Student Affairs for the school you are attending, or from the Registrar's Office. The form gives the student an opportunity to specify how s/he wants the name on the diploma to be styled. If no name is provided on the form, the Registrar's Office will order the diploma to be printed as the student's name appears in the Student Information System (SIS). Diploma names which differ from the student's name in SIS must meet certain requirements.

Duplicate diplomas must be ordered by written request or a submitted form from the graduate. The request should include your Name (how it is printed on your diploma), Social Security Number, Degree Earned, Date of Graduation, Current Mailing Address and Phone Number. A duplicate diploma will have the word DUPLICATE printed on it. Duplicate diplomas will be ordered at a charge of $55.00. The charge for Dental Postgraduate Certificates is $25.00 and must be paid with a separate check or money order. Prices are subject to change. Printing takes 8 - 12 weeks. Mail your request to the address listed on the form.
