Commencement participation

Commencement ceremonies are held two times per year, following the Fall and Spring semesters. Students will only be allowed to participate in commencement if they are on track to complete their degree requirements by their scheduled graduation term. 

Students graduating in June or August will be invited to attend the Spring commencement since there are no ceremony’s held in the summer. Summer graduates who prefer to participate in the December ceremony may make arrangements through the Registrar’s Office.
