Commencement
Candidates for graduation are encouraged to attend their commencement ceremony. The event is held once a year at the end of spring semester on the Saturday after finals week in the middle of May, at the Lewy Lee Fieldhouse. The ceremony honors the achievement of students who have completed an associates or baccalaureate degree program; no formal ceremony is offered for students completing certificates. Those candidates in attendance at the ceremony will receive a diploma cover. Diploma inserts will be sent to the address provided on the graduation application upon degree completion. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that this address is correct.
