Undergraduate Degree Petitions Forms and Graduation Instructions
In order to graduate from Georgia Tech, you must first submit an application for graduation. The new Online Application for Graduation (OAG) is replacing the previously-used Degree Petition. Below is a walkthrough instructional guide of how to utilize the OAG, and ensure your application is successfully submitted.
- Login to OSCAR.
- Select Student Services & Financial Aid
- Select Student Records
- Select Apply to Graduate
- The first screen will be the Curriculum Selection screen:
This screen displays your curriculum as officially recognized by the Office of the Registrar. If your curriculum appears incorrect, STOP IMMEDIATELY. Please contact Degree Certification (dc@lists.gatech.edu or 404-894-4150) for assistance. The program you are applying for MUST match your program on record, and if your minor and/or concentration are NOT appearing, STOP IMMEDIATELY. (NOTE: Cooperative Plan, International Plan, and Research Option will not appear here. If this is the only item missing from your curriculum, please continue on with the online application.)
If your program is correct, then you must select the radio button for the program which you'd like to apply to graduate. If you have more than one program displayed (for students that have two majors), then you can select either one, but not both. You will have to go through the process again for your second major.
- At the next screen select the graduation term in the drop down that will appear.
- Next, please select if you will be using your current name to appear on your diploma, or if you would like to request changes to your first or middle names to appear on your diploma.
NOTE: all requests will be reviewed by the Office of the Registrar, and are subject to approval. If you would like to change your last name, or make more significant changes to your diploma name, please contact the Office of the Registrar. Restrictions apply.
- The next screen will ask you to confirm the name, and allow for your requested changes to be entered.
- After confirming your diploma name, please select which address you would like your diploma sent to by using the dropdown.
- At the next screen, you will be asked to confirm your diploma mailing address.
- Continuing on, you will then see a Graduation Application Summary. Please review carefully, before clicking on "Submit Request."
- Finally, to continue with the submission of your application at the next screen, please click on the link at the bottom of the page. This link will redirect you to Georgia Tech's Exit Survey. Upon completion of the Exit Survey, you will be directed back to the Office of the Registrar's home page. At this point, your application is successfully submitted, and beginning the next day, you should be able to see both your application and graduation status in DegreeWorks
