Interested in walking the stage before you officially graduate? Read the Updated Graduation "Participant" Policy.

ATTENTION SOON-TO-BE GRADUATES... DID YOU KNOW?!?    “Graduating [receiving a diploma]” and “participating [walking across the stage]” in the commencement ceremony are two distinctly different things...

Students who are not officially graduating but would like to participate in the graduation ceremony must abide by the updated Graduation Participant Policy. Undergraduate students are allowed to participate in the commencement ceremony if they will complete their degree requirements within the next semester with no more than three courses or nine hours. 

The policy is effective for Fall 2012 graduation.

Visit the commencement website for more information.
