Congratulations on your achievement! As you move closer to graduation, you will have questions about what to expect for your graduation and subsequent commencement ceremony. The online guide to graduation and commencement provides answers to your questions.

Even if you are not planning on attending your commencement ceremony, review the graduation checklist and complete the Commencement RSVP form.  Information on the distribution of tickets will be posted online June 29, 2012 by 5 p.m. 

Please note that attendance at a commencement ceremony does not guarantee that your degree has been granted. All degree requirements must be met and verified before diplomas are printed.

For questions concerning degree requirements, graduation applications and your eligibility to graduate, contact your advising office directly. A late fee of $200 will be administered for all first-time applications submitted after the deadline.
