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.

When a student is admitted to an Accelerated Degree Plan (ADP), the Accelerated Degree Graduate Coursework Plan (ADGCP) should be turned in to the OU Graduate College. This normally takes place in the junior year or early in the senior year.
ADGCP forms linked below are organized by the undergraduate college.
A graduate certificate program report shows what courses a student took, their grade in each course, and the semester/year they completed the course. This form is due in the Graduate College no later than the final semester of certificate coursework.
It is important to use the Adobe Reader software to view and edit your program report. Using the Preview application or your web browser plugin may result in difficulty printing, saving, or completing the form.
| Form | Description |
|---|---|
| Application for Graduate Credit for Courses Taken During Junior and Senior Years | For students that are taking graduate courses and would like that credit to apply towards a graduate degree. |
| Request for Incomplete Grade Extension Beyond One Year | For students who need an extension of time to complete their coursework for an incomplete grade. |
| Request for Letter of Completion | The Letter of Completion is an official University of Oklahoma document, bearing the University seal and can be used as proof of graduation for purposes of potential employment, updating personnel records, etc. |
| Request for Withdrawal - Current Term | For students that would like to withdraw from a course(s) for the current term. |
| Retroactive Withdrawal Petition | For students that would like to withdraw from a course(s) for a previous term. |
| Request to Appoint a Graduate Assistant Over 0.50 FTE | Allows for a student to become a graduate assistant with an appointment between 0.51 and 0.70 FTE. |
| Graduate Assistant Final Semester Declaration | Allows qualifying graduate assistants to declare their final semester and enroll in fewer than 5 hours and still be considered full-time for the purpose of maintaining eligibility for a tuition waiver and FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) tax exemption. This helps students avoid paying fees for coursework beyond the hours needed for completion of their degree. |
| Graduate Assistant Paid Parental Leave Request | This form notifies the Graduate College and your hiring unit of your intent to request up to 6 weeks of parental leave without reduction in pay if you are a qualifying (0.50 FTE) graduate assistant. The full text of the parental leave policy can be found here: Graduate College Bulletin 4.3.4.12.
