Graduating
The College’s annual commencement ceremony is held in May. Students who have not completed the necessary coursework but who are within eight credits of the total required for graduation may, with the signature of their academic dean, participate in commencement. Such students will be eligible to receive their degrees in the fall semester of the next academic year, as long as they complete the required coursework and submit the appropriate documentation to the Office of the Registrar no later than September 15. The degrees will be conferred in October, upon approval by the faculty and the board of trustees. There will be no separate commencement ceremony during the fall semester. For the purposes of Latin honors and other awards, students receiving their degrees in the fall semester will be considered members of the class that graduated the preceding May.
Students within eight credits of graduation at commencement who submit the necessary documentation after September 15 will receive their degrees the following May, as will any students who complete their degree requirements during the fall semester. In such cases, the College will provide an official letter stating that the student has completed the necessary coursework for the degree. A specific notation will also be made on the student’s transcript indicating that the degree requirements have been fulfilled.
