At the time of commencement, a degree may be conferred in absentia only if the candidate has notified the university registrar that he or she is unable to attend the commencement exercises. In all cases, the candidate should indicate the address to which the diploma may be mailed.

Diplomas are withheld from all students whose financial accounts or library records are not clear or who have other outstanding obligations to the university.
