Participation in Commencement Ceremonies
Any undergraduate student who has filed a graduation application, and whose spring semester degree evaluation confirms that the student will have completed all but nine (9) or fewer credit hours required for the degree by the following August, will be allowed to participate in Commencement ceremonies. Undergraduate students having more than nine (9) credit hours of work remaining will not normally be allowed to participate in Commencement ceremonies. However, in the case of extraordinary circumstances, such as family or health emergencies, students may appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs or designee. The student may be required to provide supporting documentation in making such an appeal. The decision of the Vice President for Academic Affairs or designee is final.
