Students who complete degree requirements after the summer or fall semesters are encouraged to participate in the Commencement ceremony in May. You are advised to check with your Department Chairperson or Academic Advisor to be certain that all requirements for graduation have been met.

A mandatory graduation fee of $175 is charged to all students’ accounts upon acceptance of the Application to Graduate. Student account balances must be paid in full before diplomas or e-Diplomas are issued. Graduation fees can be paid through Colleague Self-Service.

After you submit your Application to Graduate, you will receive an email confirmation with additional information. You will also receive additional information via your student email once it becomes available. Please check your Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ email regularly for any updates.

You are welcome to contact us if you have additional questions.
