Final master's degree students should be in touch with their department regarding internal departmental deadlines. However, generally, two months before the degree deadline, final master's students should begin the advanced degree application through TigerHub. Make sure to thoroughly review all information input into the application to ensure its accuracy pertaining to your specific dates and program. 

Please wait for an email from the Graduate School stating that your application has been received and that you can proceed with the Checkout Process. 

Both the Checkout and Final Paperwork forms are accessed through TigerHub and should be completed by the student two weeks before the degree deadline. Before submitting these forms to the Graduate School, final master's students must take the following steps:

Checkout Form

• Students should complete all required fields and fully review all information presented on the form. 
• Please note: Once a student's checkout form is submitted, they will lose library privileges. This means students should be mindful to complete this form when they will no longer need access to library resources.

Final Paperwork Form

• Complete the Exit Survey: The electronic copy of the "Confirmation of Completion" page must be attached to your final paperwork.
• *M.S.E. students ONLY: Submit thesis PDF to Princeton’s ProQuest ETD site - Pay any applicable publishing and copyright fees (the Graduate School requires traditional or open access publication and does not allow publication restrictions).

After checkout and final paperwork forms are submitted, reviewed and approved by the Graduate School, the student will receive an email confirmation indicating the degree date in which their name will be listed.
