Before final acceptance by The Graduate School, the thesis must meet format requirements and be approved by the major professor under whose guidance it is produced. A diploma is sent to each master's degree candidate who is eligible for graduation approximately eight to ten weeks after the official conferral date for the degree. An official transcript is included with the diploma. A Commencement ceremony is held in both May and December, but not in August. August graduates are invited to participate in the December ceremony.
Attendance is optional.
