Graduation Ceremonies

Commencement exercises are held at the end of Fall and Spring terms. Degree candidates are expected to indicate whether they intend to participate (“walk”) in the ceremony on their Application to Graduate.

Although commencement exercises will not be held during the summer, degrees will be awarded at the end of the summer term. Diplomas will be mailed soon afterward and should be received within four to six weeks.

All summer graduates are invited to return to campus to participate in the fall commencement ceremony immediately following the summer in which the degree was conferred. Summer candidates should indicate whether they intend to participate in the fall ceremony on their Application to Graduate.
