Graduation is a time of celebration, a moment of confirmation and accomplishment. In order to begin the process of obtaining your degree, candidates will need to submit a formal application for degree. Commencement is a separate, yet concurrent process for those wanting to participate in a graduation ceremony. Although optional, the College encourages and welcomes your participation in celebrating your achievements and membership in our community. Please read below for additional information on both Applying for Degree and Commencement.
