Grad Fair will be hosted at The Campus Duck Store April 5—8, 2010.

When can I purchase my graduation package?

When will graduation packages be available online for purchase?

Should I go to both the University Graduation Celebration as well as my departmental ceremony?

Absolutely! The University Graduation Celebration is designed to bring the entire graduating class and their family and friends together. The departmental ceremonies are of equal importance, especially since each graduate will be individually recognized.

What happens at the individual department ceremony?

Bachelor's and Master's candidates walk through as their names are read and receive a blank diploma cover.

When do we get our diplomas?

They are mailed to graduates ten to twelve weeks after graduation.

I'm not really graduating until next term. Is it okay to go through the ceremony?

Yes. You may attend the University Graduation Celebration and don't need to apply with the registrar. However, your name does not appear in the main program until the term you graduate.

Why do I have to pay a Commencement Fee? What is it?

The $11 Commencement Fee is collected to pay for your diploma cover and the production of University graduation ceremonies.

I have a double major. Can I go to both departmental ceremonies?

Yes. For an additional $5.00 you may get tassels for each of your departments. But, you will receive one diploma cover and diploma.

What if I decide not to go to the ceremonies? Do I get my money back?

If you have already purchased full regalia and paid your Commencement Fee, you may receive a refund from the Campus Duck Store NO LATER THAN THE DAY BEFORE Commencement, and only if the garments have not been worn.
