Commencement

Formal commencement (graduation) ceremonies are conducted once a year in late May or early June. Specific details are announced each spring.

Participation in Commencement Ceremonies

All August and December graduates are invited to participate in the Commencement ceremony that takes place in the spring semester immediately following their degree conferral. If a student chooses not to participate who graduated in August or December, they will not be eligible to participate in a future Commencement ceremony.

Potential graduates who maintained enrollment in their final Spring semester (here referred to as the Conferral Semester) are also eligible to participate in the Commencement ceremony. Potential graduates must be eligible to complete all requirements in the Conferral Semester to participate. Potential graduates who choose to withdraw from a course in the Conferral Semester will be removed from the potential graduate list and may not participate until their degree requirements are complete. Students enrolled in programs scheduled to complete program requirements in June are also eligible to participate.
