Honor Cords
Our office is happy to serve our most distinguished students as they prepare to celebrate Commencement.
Honor Cord Distribution
To collect your honor cord prior to the Commencement ceremony, come to the Tech Tower Lobby (first floor) between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. from April 26th – May 5th (Mondays through Fridays only). Please adhere to social distancing guidelines and wear masks when picking up your cords.
If you need to pick up your honor cord after May 5th, you may do so at the following locations:
Anticipated Graduation Date
When a student is accepted to Georgia Tech, an anticipated date of graduation is calculated and entered on the student's record. The date is based on a formula at the time of matriculation, and may not be correct if the student has changed his/her major, failed courses, been a co-op for additional terms, or been readmitted, etc. It is not a guarantee of graduation, nor is it based on any degree petition that has been submitted. The student may change his/her record to reflect the new date by logging into Buzzport .
Graduate Program of Study Form
The Graduate Program of Study Form acts as a petition for a degree and is due in the Registrar's Office by the deadline published on the Academic Calendar. This deadline always occurs before the term of graduation. A Program of Study Form is only required for undesignated degrees and catalog years without degree requirements in Degree Works. Please review your Degree Works to see if a Program of Study Form is required.
Diploma Information
In order to graduate from Georgia Tech, students must first submit an Online Application for Graduation (OAG). The graduation application windows for Summer, Fall and Spring are listed on the Academic Calendar.

Online Application for Graduation (OAG) for Graduate Students
Make sure all program information is up-to-date. For example, if you are a PhD student, but applying for a Master's "along the way," you must officially declare the Master's program as a secondary major. For more information, and the form needed to officially update your program on record, go to the Forms page.
