Remember, the earlier you submit your application the better. There is no fee associated with the graduation application.
A commencement ceremony is held for spring and fall.
All graduating students are welcome to attend the commencement ceremony. For many students, the graduation ceremony represents a celebration of their accomplishment in higher education. Many family and friends of graduating students attend to join in the celebration. However, students are not mandated to attend the commencement ceremony. Students may choose to pick up their degree without attending the graduation ceremony.
