If the student fails to complete the requirements by the second period, her or his name will not be entered automatically on the next prospective list. The student must submit a new application and fee. All students receiving degrees and certificates are invited to participate in the official graduation ceremonies conducted in May, August and December of each year on the Central Michigan University campus in Mt. Pleasant. Information about campus graduation ceremonies is mailed to prospective graduates four to six weeks prior to the event. Diplomas are not distributed during the graduation ceremonies but are sent to students by mail.
Graduates generally receive their diplomas within two months following the on-campus ceremony.
Graduation ceremonies are also scheduled at a number of off-campus locations. Detailed information and schedules may be obtained through the program administrator. Letter requests should include name, Social Security number, dates of attendance, birth date, and, if a graduate, the date of graduation. No transcript will be released without written authorization of the student. Ordinarily transcripts are processed in one to five days.
