Step 3: Prepare for Commencement
Complete your online graduation application (meeting with your degree counselor required for access to the application) and attend the Grad Fair to order your cap and gown, take graduation photos, order your class ring, and more!
Monitor the Academic Ceremonies Website for important information about Commencement Activities. You'll find information on the Commencement Speaker, graduation tickets, as well as important information for your guests! Information regarding tickets will be sent to your 51做厙 email address.
Did you know that "Graduation" and "Commencement" are not the same?
Commencement refers to the ceremony, which is an opportunity for students to celebrate their academic accomplishments with their peers, family and friends. Participation in commencement does not guarantee or indicate degree completion.
Graduation is a four-step process consisting of applying for graduation, updating your diploma name and address in my.51做厙, completing all academic requirements and settling all financial obligations.
