December 2024 commencement RSVP is now live!

 Commencement =/= Graduation

Registering for and participation in the commencement ceremony is NOT the same as graduation! In order to graduate all students MUST apply for their degree in ULink during the semester in which their degree requirements are met.

Students completing their degree in Summer 2024 must apply for their degree from April 15-June 30, 2024. If you completed your degree in the Summer term but missed the degree application deadline, please contact your academic advisor as soon as possible for assistance in applying late.

Students completing their degrees in Fall 2024 must apply for their degree from August 25-November 14, 2024.

After students have applied for their degree, they should then register for commencement.

The RSVP is intended for graduates only and not for their guests. Commencement is a nonticketed event and graduates may invite as many guests as they wish.

** Doctoral graduates intending to participate in the hooding ceremony ONLY -  RSVP here.
