School colors are listed on the web site. Special majors should attend the ceremony of their sponsoring school. To help guests find the appropriate School Graduation Ceremony, please alert them to look for the directional signs in the color of your school. If you are not sure which School Ceremony is yours, ask your department office. Those receiving special majors should attend their sponsoring School's ceremonies.
Commencement is a special occasion for graduates and guests.
Please refrain from behaviors that might detract from the decorum of the ceremony. Do not bring alcoholic beverages on campus. Out of respect for your fellow graduates, please return to your seat after you walk across the stage at the School Ceremony and remain seated until the end of the ceremony. Participation in the ceremony in no way assures that you have completed graduation requirements. Four to six months after your quarter of candidacy, the Office of Enrollment Services will mail diplomas to candidates who have completed all degree requirements.
