Overview

The Intended Completion Term (ICT) page allows you to estimate when you expect to complete your degree requirements and graduate from your program. This information is helpful for campus to know so that you can receive accurate and timeline information about graduation and course planning. This information is also used on career platforms such as Handshake: by providing your own expected graduation term, employers will see a more accurate estimate of when you are likely to graduate.

Note:

• For students on an F-1 or J-1 student visa: this action is not tied to the I-20 or student visa process. Selecting a term on this page does not ensure that you are approved for study for the duration of the program; please work closely with the ISS Office to ensure you are in compliance with all visa requirements.
• This does not replace the "Apply to Graduate" process. You will still need to apply to graduate to officially notify campus once you are within 1-2 semesters of completing your degree.
• This is not a confirmation that you have to graduate by that term, you can continue to update the ICT in the future if your anticipated completion term changes. Additionally, this is not a guarantee that you will graduate by the term you select. You should work closely with your advisor to determine what is an accurate and realistic term you can anticipate graduating by, and all degree requirements must be completed in order for you to graduate.
• You will be asked to confirm/update your ICT each semester when you complete your Pre-Enrollment Checklist. The Expected Graduation Update page is used to update the ICT outside the Pre-Enrollment Checklist; if the ICT submitted on the Pre-Enrollment Checklist is accurate, then there is no need to re-submit the ICT on this page.

Steps

1. Log in to MyUW.
2. Click on the Student Center tile, then the Academic Records tile:
            
   
   
3. From the menu on the left, click on "Intended Completion Term":
   
              
   
   
4. Select the dropdown field for "Update To" next to the degree you want update the ICT for. 
   Note: Students do not apply to graduate for additional majors or certificates -- just degrees.
    
          
   
   If you do not see any degree program listed, it is likely because you are in a non-degree program (such as a Special Student career) and do not need to submit an ICT. If you see a degree program listed but do not have an option to change the ICT, you have likely already applied to graduate and will need to update the term via your application for graduation. Lastly, if you see multiple degree programs and only can update the ICT on one, that is perfectly fine, you do not need to enter different ICTs for different degree programs; just enter the latest anticipated completion term across all your degree programs.
   
   
   
5. Select the corresponding term for when you anticipate completing your requirements. If you have multiple degree plans, then you should select the semester you'd complete your program that will take the longest.
   Note: There is a finite number of semesters to choose from - if your anticipated last term is not listed, please select the latest available term. You will be able to update this to a later term as you get closer to your final term.
   
          
   
   
6. Once you've selected the appropriate term, click the Update button.
   1. If the ICT was updated successfully, you will receive a confirmation message:
      
      
      
      
   2. If your selected completion term is after the start of the degree program, you will receive an error message:
      
      
   3. If the ICT is the same value that is already entered, you will receive an error message:
