Degrees are conferred by the university upon recommendation of the
College of Nursing faculty. Degrees are conferred and diplomas issued
only at the annual commencement each May. A student who completes
degree requirements in October or January may request a diploma in
October or January, respectively. October and January diplomas may be
picked up at the Office of the Registrar.
Diploma information
cards are distributed by the staff in the Office of Student Affairs to
all degree candidates. For timely graduation, the cards must be
returned to the staff for submission to the Office of the Registrar by
the date specified.
Degrees are conferred in absentia only if
the candidate has been excused in advance from attendance at
commencement exercises. Requests to be excused should be sent to the
registrar as early as possible, and candidates should indicate the
address to which the diploma should be sent when it is mailed in July.
