GRADUATION

Graduation Dates

Degrees are conferred at the end of each long semester and at the end of the Summer Semester. Public commencement ceremonies are held at the conclusion of the Fall, Spring, and Summer Semesters. Information on the procedures to be followed is available in the Office of the Registrar.

Students may not participate in ceremonies before their actual date of graduation.

Application for the Degree

It is the student’s responsibility to apply officially for his or her degree at the Office of the Registrar no later than October 1 for the Fall Semester, February 1 for the Spring Semester, or June 1 for the Summer Semester. The application of any student applying for graduation after the established deadlines for that semester will be processed for graduation for the following semester. A student who has completed all degree requirements but has failed to apply for the degree may obtain a Letter of Completion from the Office of the Registrar after the close of the semester in which all degree requirements were met.

Students who apply for the degree in a given semester but who do not fulfill all requirements must file a new degree application (on or before the appropriate deadlines) for the next semester in which they intend to graduate. An additional application fee is required for the second and all subsequent degree applications.
