Graduation vs. Commencement

Graduation is the process of completing your degree or certificate requirements. We graduate students in the fall, spring, and summer semesters. When you apply to graduate, you’re letting us know that you plan to complete your requirements and earn your degree or certificate in a specific semester.

Commencement is a celebration of your accomplishment. It’s the ceremony where you walk across the stage, receive your diploma cover, and celebrate with your family and friends. Students who graduated in the previous summer and fall semesters as well as students who are graduating in the current spring semester are all invited to walk at Commencement.

Intent to Participate

Opens in February: In order to ensure your name is listed in the Commencement program, Intent to Participate forms must be submitted by the deadline set by the Records office. The portal to submit this form will close the day before the end of the spring semester.
