Deadlines for Graduate Students
These deadlines are required for all students enrolled in Texas A&M University at Galveston graduate programs. Failure to meet these deadlines will result in placing a warning on a student’s record for the following semester. While on warning, the student must meet with the Office of Graduate Studies staff and provide an explanation of how the student plans to meet the deadline. By the end of the warning semester, it is expected that the student will meet the deadline. If the student does not meet the deadline, a registration block will be placed on the student’s record.
