Graduation Certification

The graduation certification (degree conferral) process is managed by the Office of the Registrar. Degrees are awarded three times a year: December (Fall), May (Spring) and September (Summer). Candidates for graduation shall be certified as to their college requirements by the several college faculties to the Registrar, who shall recommend them to the president for their appropriate degrees provided they have satisfied all university degree requirements for graduation.

Students must formally apply to graduate within the published deadlines on the master academic calendar to initiate the graduation certification process. Coursework must be complete by the graduation date for which the student has applied. Incomplete grades in the final semester will prevent graduation.
