Yes.

It depends. If you will have 6 credits left to complete by September, then you may participate in the commencement ceremony. However, you will not get your certificate or degree until you complete all of your requirements with no less than a 2.0 overall GPA. The Registrar will evaluate everyone that signs up for commencement to confirm eligibility to participate.

We want to ensure that your certificate or diploma is mailed to you. In order for us to confer your degree or certificate completion, we need to have a Petition on file.
- Degree students, please complete the Petition to Graduate.
- Certificate students, please complete the Petition for Certificate.
