COMMENCEMENT

Graduating seniors are invited to attend commencement ceremonies both for the university and for their individual colleges. Students must RSVP individually for these events.

DEGREE CANDIDACY PROCESS

All students must officially declare their intent to graduate and file an application for degree candidacy. This process will ensure that all courses have been completed and graduation requirements have been met.
