Commencement exercises are held twice per year at the close of the fall and the spring semesters.
Students who complete graduation requirements during the summer are eligible to participate in the May commencement exercises. To participate in the May commencement exercises, students must be registered to complete all graduation requirements by the end of the summer session following the May commencement. Individual colleges may set more stringent requirements.
A student may participate in commencement only once for a particular degree. The date of graduation on the diploma will comply with the actual completion date of the degree.
Reservations for commencement must be made by the date specified by the Office of Registration and Records. Orders for caps, gowns, and hoods must be made by the date specified by the Varsity Mart. Additional information is also available on the Commencement Information page.
