Students in a single master’s degree program should visit Stellic.ou.edu to view their degree audit and/or fill out a Request to Graduate.
The Stellic degree audit is a graduation requirement for master’s students and must be complete in order to graduate.
Accelerated bachelor’s/master’s degree students and dual master’s degree students have not yet transitioned from the Program of Study form to the Stellic degree audit for degree clearance purposes.
Accelerated degree students will use the Accelerated Degree Graduate Coursework Plan and Accelerated Program of Study form (see below)
Dual master’s degree students should contact their OU Graduate College graduate degree management specialist for guidance on how to complete a Program of Study.
