For students planning to complete their degree requirements during the fall or spring academic terms, the application for graduation must be completed by the end of day on the deadline for submission of mid-term grades during the academic term they wish to have their degree conferred. Mid-term grade submission deadlines can be found on the academic calendar. Applicants for graduation who plan to complete their degree requirements during the summer academic term must submit their graduation application by the spring applicant submission deadline and be approved as on track to meet graduation requirements at the conclusion of the summer term to participate in Commencement that academic year.

The College holds an annual Commencement each academic year to confer degrees to students who complete degree requirements within an academic year. The date for Commencement is published on the Academic Calendar and is set for Saturday, May 20, 2023 for that current academic year. Details concerning the location, time, and keynote speaker will be shared with the college community as available.
