Commencement
Degrees are conferred at the end of each term, and commencement exercises are held each term. The graduation fee is assessed whether or not the student plans to participate in commencement exercises.
If a student is meeting all graduation requirements, with the exception of a summer academic internship experience, and the internship extends past the summer trimester commencement date, the student can petition to the Committee on Admissions and Advanced Standing to participate in the spring commencement ceremony. Such requests must be submitted prior to April 1 of the trimester preceding the summer internship.
Graduation honors for the commencement program will be determined prior to final term grades. (See “Honor Roll and Graduation Honors” section.)
