Any candidate who does not wish to attend commencement is asked to write to the campus registrar requesting that the degree be conferred in absentia at the annual commencement exercises. Since arrangements for commencement are complex and well advanced by April 1, such requests ideally should be placed before that date, although they will be accepted any time before commencement. Candidates whose attendance is prevented by some last-minute emergency are asked to communicate with the campus registrar or the law school`s assistant dean for student affairs within 24 hours of commencement. In all cases, the candidate should indicate the address to which the diploma may be sent when it is mailed during the month of June or July.
Diplomas are withheld from all students whose financial or library accounts are not clear.
