Graduation
Completing your degree is a significant accomplishment, so it’s important that you understand the process beyond taking the required courses.
Petition for Graduation
To complete your degree and receive your diploma, you must submit a Petition for Graduation form and pay a $75 graduation fee. This fee includes the diploma, diploma cover, one official transcript, and shipping. Log in to my.indianatech.edu to complete the form.
If you are a PhD student, you will be required to pay an additional fee of $400. This fee includes binding of your dissertation, a diploma frame, medallion, and academic hood. If you participate in the commencement ceremony, Indiana Tech will cover the cost of your standard doctoral regalia (gown, tam, hood, tassel). If you prefer to upgrade your regalia, you will have the opportunity to order the upgraded regalia from our supplier at your own cost.
If you believe there are mistakes or discrepancies in your degree audit, please contact the Office of the Registrar immediately. Traditional students’ advisors should be copied on this email. If substitutions are required, the advisor will contact the Office of the Registrar.
The deadline to petition as a Fall graduate is Oct. 1. The deadline to petition as a Spring graduate is Jan. 15. To be considered for Commencement participation, your petition for graduation MUST be submitted by the January 15th deadline.
