Commencement Emails – Students can anticipate receiving email communication regarding Latin Honors, cap and gown, rehearsal, line number and other general commencement matters during weeks 11-13 of the semester.

Grades – Check the Important Dates section on the registrar’s website to determine the grade posting deadline for instructors.

Rehearsal – Held on Friday afternoon (SP) or Sunday morning (AU and SU). Make sure to confirm the time/date of rehearsal. Rehearsal is not required, but strongly suggested.

Commencement - Sunday after finals weeks. You will receive your diploma on graduation day as long as all degree requirements have been met and there are no holds on your student account.
