Your receipt of the Commencement informational postcard will be our welcome to you to participate in the 2009 Commencement ceremony and our request that you familiarize yourself with the information in this Web site. Your name will appear in the Commencement program booklet if you are an eligible master's degree/C.A.S. candidate.
You WILL NOT RECEIVE the Commencement informational postcard (during spring recess, March 23-28) IF you did not apply for your degree by the appropriate deadlines. Your name will not appear in the Commencement program booklet.
Please note: While we make every effort to include all degree candidates' names in the Commencement program booklet, students who did not submit their degree applications by February 1 are not guaranteed listing.
Master's degree/C.A.S. applications are available in The Graduate School office, Cleveland Hall 204, and also online, where you may print the application. You must then submit the completed application in Cleveland Hall 204.
If you miss the February 1 deadline, take your completed application to obtain your Commencement informational postcard (available beginning March 23). The Graduate School staff will validate your postcard, and this is required for you to register and receive your guest tickets in the bookstore beginning April 8.
Registration/guest ticket distribution for the Commencement ceremony begins with Commencement Kickoff, Wednesday, April 8, 10:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. in the bookstore. Registration continues through May 9 during regular store hours.
