In early-spring of each academic year, an email is sent to all enrolled students regarding graduation and the commencement ceremony. This email explains eligibility for graduation, includes cap & gown order information and a link to the graduation application.
Students are encouraged to meet with the Registrar if they have any questions regarding the application process and/or graduation.
