Independent Study deadlines for completion of courses for graduation are earlier in the semester due to the time it takes to process the grades for the course and have the grade posted to the transcript. Attendance at graduation ceremonies is not required. Graduation ceremonies are held in April and August. December graduates are included in the April ceremonies. The cap and gown are ordered through the Alumni House.
Information is mailed to each graduating candidate early in the semester of graduation.
Graduation announcements are available in the bookstore . Diplomas are mailed to students four to six weeks following graduation. The Latin honors designations of summa , magna , and cum laude are determined about four weeks before graduation. Contact the Advisement Center for the designation. This honor is printed on the diploma.
