WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT GRADUATE ADVISING

In the College of Health and Public Service, Graduate Students have access to both a discipline-specific Faculty Advisor and a Graduate Academic Advisor. Faculty Advisors provide career and research mentorship, while Graduate Advising focuses on degree planning, graduate milestone progress and navigating university policies and procedures.

Graduate students are encouraged to schedule regular appointments with their advisor for questions concerning, but not limited to:

  • Degree Requirements
  • Policies & Procedures
  • Probation & Suspension
  • Graduation
  • Other General Advising Questions & Concerns

Apply for graduation

We recommend meeting with your advisor the semester before you wish to graduate in order to confirm graduation requirements.

Graduation applications are done through the MyUNT portal. Graduation deadlines are often early in the term, so make sure you apply at the beginning of the semester you want to graduate.
