Ready for the Graduation Commencement Ceremony?

There is one ceremony per year, and it includes the current spring graduation candidates, as well as the prior fall and summer grads. For students who are graduating during the current summer term, you may request to participate in the ceremony so long as you have six hours or fewer to complete. The deadline to RSVP is March 1, 2023.

Commencement Ceremony Details

When Will I Receive My Diploma(s)?

You will receive a diploma cover during the commencement ceremony. Diplomas are issued about four weeks after commencement, provided all graduation requirements are met and all holds are cleared.

Replacing Your Diploma

Diploma re-orders are processed with our end-of-term graduates. Therefore, re-orders will be placed three times per year: December, May and August. If you have more than one credential, please complete a separate Duplicate Diploma Request form for each one.
