The student must file an initial degree plan through the graduate coordinator/advisor during their first semester at TAMUK. A final degree plan is not filed until all conditions have been removed. Forwarding the signed degree plan to the graduate dean denotes (1) the completion of requirements outlined on the Student’s Acceptance notice and (2) the student’s acceptance into degree status. A copy of the final degree plan with any revisions must also be forwarded to the graduate dean at the time of candidacy.
