Degree Candidate Status Verification Form (pdf)
Under current COVID precautions, the Graduate School will accept Degree Status Verification Forms digitally, with official electronic signatures, via email submission to the Graduate School Editorial Office at gradedit@aa.ufl.edu.
This service is provided until 3 weeks before graduation. However, students who before that time have completed all requirements for the degree, filed the fully signed final examination report in GIMS and achieved final clearance of the thesis or dissertation may request verification to that effect. Verification of Degree Candidate Status Request Forms are filled out by the candidate; signed by the supervisory committee chair, department chair, college dean, and the Graduate School Editorial Office (121 Grinter Hall); then given to Graduate Student Records (106 Grinter Hall), for verification and processing.
Although a student may have fulfilled academic requirements, the degree is not awarded until the Graduate School certifies the degree to the University Registrar. That is done at the end of Fall, Spring, and Summer C terms for all students who completed degree requirements and applied to graduate. Some employers and licensure boards require the degree statement on the transcript, which is available about 3 days after certification in December, May, and August.
Traveling Scholar Form (pdf)
Fill out this form according to its instructions, if you are applying to participate in the UF Traveling Scholar Program as a UF graduate student attending an institution of higher learning elsewhere, either within the Florida State University System or outside of the Florida State University System — but within the United States.
