Final Examination and Graduation

Approval to Schedule Final Examination

Early in the spring semester, students must submit the Approval to Schedule Final Examination form. MAT Program Assistant Shelley Houser (shouser@k-state.edu) will assist students in this process. Students are not required to come to campus for a final exam. The final project, the Teaching and Learning Portfolio, serves as the final exam.

Online Graduation Application

The Graduate School requires all candidates for master’s degrees to submit the graduation application in the K-State Student Information System (KSIS) before the Final Exam form is processed. Please see the step by step instructions on applying for graduation in KSIS.

The graduation application will add students to the list of candidates for degree completion as well as update the degree/diploma name and mailing address.

Commencement

Students are welcome and encouraged to come to campus to participate in graduation ceremonies. The Graduate School recognizes graduates at University Commencement ceremonies in May. Formal participation in a University Commencement ceremony is reserved for those students who have satisfied all requirements for the degree. They must have submitted all materials, including notification of intent to participate in the ceremony, to the Graduate School by the specified deadline dates. Please visit the Graduate School Graduation and Commencement web page for more information.
