Graduation

Degrees are conferred by the university upon recommendation of the appropriate faculty.  A student who completes degree requirements in August or January may request a diploma in December or April, respectively. August and January diplomas may be obtained at the Office of the Registrar.

Diplomas are withheld if a student has a hold against his or her record.

It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that all the graduation requirements of the college, including certification of the major and second concentration, have been fully met well before the expected date of graduation. For a personal academic degree audit evaluation, students should log onto Degree Navigator.

Student records are officially closed upon graduation. To participate in the commencement ceremony, a student must have successfully completed all degree requirements. Inquiries concerning graduation may be directed to the Office of Academic Services.

All candidates for graduation must complete a diploma application form online according to the following deadlines:
