CONFERRAL OF DEGREES

Degrees are formally conferred at the Commencement exercises held annually at the close of the spring semester. Though requirements may be completed at other times during the year, degrees are officially awarded only at those exercises.

Students who do not complete all requirements by the close of the Spring Semester may participate in the Commencement exercises only if they have no more than two “Incomplete” grades for the Spring Semester and they fall into one or more of the following categories:

  • those expecting to complete all degree requirements by the end of the summer, or
  • those having no more than four credit hours to be taken in the next fall semester, or
  • those having only student teaching, a Senior Recital, or an approved internship to complete in the fall (Senior Study 352 is occasionally attached to student teaching or to an internship).

Any student who does not complete the degree requirements according to these criteria may choose to participate in the Commencement exercises at the close of the next academic year.
