Degree Application

The degree application begins the process of awarding your degree.  Diplomas are printed when all degree requirements are met.  

To submit your Application for Degree, you should log into the My MC portal on the MC website.

There, you will find the online application under the QuickLaunch Navigation column by opening the Graduation folder and clicking on “Apply to Graduate.”  Simply follow the instructions on the online form and your application will be submitted.

NOTE:  If you have already submitted a paper application, you should not submit a duplicate application online.

If you are seeking a dual degrees (such as JD/MBA) or if you have more than one curricula (such as a double major) you must submit a separate application for each degree/curriculum.

If you have any questions regarding the online application process, please feel free to contact the Registrar's Office.
