- Timing- Transcript request processing is delayed during final grade collection for a term.

Graduation & Commencement
You should apply for graduation the semester before you plan to graduate. Our graduation application is available online.
Graduation is being awarded a degree or certificate. A student is graduated from the college only after completing all degree or certificate requirements, completing a graduation application, and paying all outstanding fees.
Commencement is the graduation ceremony, held once a year in May. It is a celebration of accomplishments. Students are not required to walk in the commencement ceremony, nor does it guarantee graduation. You may participate in commencement, even if your graduation term is not the same as the one in which the ceremony is held. It is important to make sure you meet with your advisor to confirm all requirements are being met.
Other Common Questions
