This checklist is designed to assist you as you prepare to graduate with a PhD from UB. It is your responsibility to ensure that all requirements are met and that all necessary paperwork has been completed and filed in a timely manner.

• Submit a PhD Application to Candidacy (ATC) to the Graduate School by the appropriate deadlines defined below. Your ATC must be approved by the Graduate School for you to officially be a candidate for degree conferral. When your ATC is approved, you will receive a letter from the Graduate School. If you believe your ATC was submitted but you did not receive a letter, contact the Graduate School.
  
  • ATC due March 1 for June (spring) conferral.
  • ATC due July 1 for August (summer) conferral.
  • ATC due Oct. 1 for February (fall) conferral.

• Report any ATC changes to the Graduate School. After your ATC has been submitted to the Graduate school, changes to your advisor, committee members, expected degree conferral date or future registration, must be submitted to the Graduate School for approval using the appropriate "change graduation date" form found on the Forms for Students page.
