Commencement Reminders

A few reminders for graduating students. 

A few of you have still not returned the candidacy forms and diploma fee forms.  These forms are needed in order to submit your name. 

If you are completing this summer and wish to participate in May, the forms must be returned at once (due April 8, 2011).  If forms are not received, you will not be included.

Reminder to all Graduating students:  Your account must be paid in full and if you have anything out from the library, all materials must be returned.  Otherwise, your degree will be withheld.

Commencement 2011 will be held Sunday, May 22, on the Jefferson Academic Center green.  The procession, from Kneller Athletic Center to the campus green, begins at 1:15 p.m. and the ceremonies at 1:30 p.m. If any last-minute emergency on Sunday prevents you from joining the ceremony as planned, please call 793-7575.  The 2½ hour ceremony includes honorary degree presentations and the Commencement Address.  The ceremony concludes with the awarding of doctoral, master’s and bachelor’s degrees. Those participating in Commencement are expected to stay for the entire ceremony.

Students who have completed all work (no incompletes) are included in the Commencement program automatically and are invited to participate in the graduation ceremony.  Please complete the Attendance Response Form (via above link) whether you are planning to attend or not.
