Graduation Process
Monitor Student Emails
As the Fall (December) and Spring (May) graduation ceremonies approach and students near completion of their program of study, it's important for students to monitor their College email for details on how to RSVP for the ceremony and to ensure any outstanding requirements are met. There is no Summer Commencement. Summer graduates are invited to attend the Spring or Fall Commencement Ceremony. Below are details communicated before or after you RSVP, to ensure your diploma is issued correctly.
