Graduation

Degrees are conferred by the university upon recommendation of the appropriate faculty. Degrees are conferred and diplomas issued at the annual commencement each May. 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, have been fully met well before the expected date of graduation. For a personal academic degree audit evaluation, students should log onto Degree Navigator.

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

Unless the application is filed by the appropriate date, the degree is not conferred and graduation is delayed.

Requests for diplomas to be mailed should be sent to the registrar as early as possible and should indicate the address to which the diploma should be mailed in July.
