Conferral of Degrees

Commencement exercises are held annually at the close of the spring semester. Degrees are conferred at the May commencement only for students who have completed all graduation requirements.

Students who do not complete all requirements by the close of the spring semester may participate in the Commencement exercises only if they present a written graduation plan, approved by the advisor and the Registrar, to complete all requirements during May term, the summer or fall semester of that calendar year. Degrees will be conferred upon completion of all requirements in either May, August or December. Students may participate in Commencement exercises only once, during the year in which they complete their degree requirements.
