*Post-baccalaureate/Alternative Licensure program students should also refer to the
Department of Education section of this catalog and their Licensure Officer for specific licensure
completion criteria. The statements above are solely for the purpose of the University’s
academic programs.
All students are encouraged to participate in the annual Commencement exercises, typically
held during the month of May. There are four graduation dates during each academic year
(July, August, December, and May) and one ceremony date (May). Graduation dates are listed
on the official calendar.
Students who intend to graduate should confirm their plan of study with their academic advisor
to determine when they should submit to their Intent To Graduate Application to the
Registrar’s Office. (The proper time to submit this is when the student is within 30 semester
credits of their program completion.)
Once the Registrar’s Office receives the completed Application with signatures of both student
and Advisor, an official degree audit is prompted. The student will then receive an “official”
degree audit letter from the Registrar’s Office that will highlight any remaining program
requirements needed to confer the degree. If the student who is interested in participating in
the Commencement Ceremony will be within 6 semester credits of his/her program completion
by the end of the spring semester, then that student will be considered “eligible” to participate
in the Commencement Ceremony. Students whose program requirements exceed 6 semester
credits beyond the Spring semester of the Commencement Ceremony will not be eligible to
participate that year in the ceremony.
