Please note that minors are NOT displayed on diplomas, nor will they be mentioned in degree conferral messaging. If you require official documentation that includes your minor, you will need to order an Official Transcript.

Degrees start conferring on the first Wednesday after finals week over a period of approximately one month. Degrees do NOT post immediately after completion of your program. Refer to the Graduation Timeline for more information.

Commencement

If you have questions about the commencement ceremony or regalia, please visit your campus commencement website. Select your campus below.

The Commencement Office is your primary source of information for registering and walking in the Commencement Ceremony, caps and regalia, programs and name readings, travel plans for friends and family, and related topics.

Graduation vs. Commencement

Applying for graduation and registering for commencement are separate processes. If you wish to graduate AND you also wish to walk in the commencement ceremony, you must complete both processes.
