An application for graduation must be filed in the Office of the Registrar according to the date listed in the Academic Calendar.  This application may be obtained in that office as well.  If the degree is not completed in that semester, a new application for graduation must be filed in the Office of the Registrar.

Graduation & Diploma
Participation in the annual spring Graduation ceremony is accorded students who have been awarded the master’s degree the previous August or February and students who are certified by the Registrar’s Office to complete their degree requirements by the end of the spring semester.  Students planning to receive their degrees at the end of the Summer Session may not participate in the graduation held the previous spring.  Rather, they may take part in the graduation held the following spring.

The diploma is granted only upon graduation and will not be replaced.
