Academic Regulations and Procedures

Degree Conferral

Candidates for graduation must declare their intention to graduate formally at the Registrar’s Office. We strongly advise meeting with one’s academic advisor during the previous semester to plan the final semester’s selection of courses. The catalogue gives instructions and processes for qualifying to graduate.

Participation in the Graduation Ceremony

The catalogue explains our policies for allowing graduating students to participate in graduation ceremonies. However, actual degree achievement is shown only by an official diploma or an official transcript showing completion of requirements.
