Degree Information
Letter of Intent
Every student completing a graduate degree who wishes to continue to enroll in pursuit of another graduate degree may do so by filing an approved letter of intent with the Office of Graduate Studies. A letter of intent which has been approved by the head of the department (or chair of the intercollegiate faculty) in which the student intends to study will be viewed by the Office of Graduate Studies as an admission to the program specified in the letter. A student must use the letter of intent form which is available on the website at ogs.tamu.edu/OGS/CurrentForms.htm.
If a break in enrollment occurs for one calendar year or longer following graduation, then a student must apply for admission to another degree program through Graduate Admissions.
If no break in enrollment occurs, or for breaks of less than one calendar year, the letter of intent may be used for admission to a new program. This letter should be submitted prior to enrollment in additional graduate degree programs.
