Graduation InformationÂ
Â
In order for you to receive your diploma or certificate, regardless of your decision to attend commencement ceremonies, you must complete the following tasks:
Â
- Apply to graduate. If you are in a graduate certificate program, you must complete this application to receive your certificate. This is important so that we can accurately identify the exact semester you will be graduating and the exact name you wish to appear on your diploma or certificate.  Depending upon the term you request and your program, you may be asked if you are requesting to attend the May ceremony.Â
- In approximately March we will ask that you complete a checkout process. This process, depending upon the term you have requested and the program you are in, asks you for the number of tickets you will need for the ceremonies. Graduate students will have the ability to print the paperwork to pick up their cap and gown from the bookstore.
- After checking out, undergraduate students will be able to pick up your tickets at the Office of Student Records.  Undergraduates will be provided with the appropriate paperwork necessary to pick up your cap and gown at the bookstore.  Graduate students can print that form during the checkout process. Once tickets have been distributed to all students, we will have extras that can be distributed.  Â
- Pickup your cap and gown at the bookstore if you are attending the ceremony.
