Celebrate. Sleep. Glow. If you have completed the above steps and if you have successfully passed all required courses (e.g., can pass a degree audit for your program) during your final semester, then you will be certified by the Graduate School and Registrar’s Office for graduation. You may officially graduate at the end of a December, May or August semester. A commencement ceremony, including a doctoral hooding ceremony for doctoral graduates, is held only in May. Diplomas are mailed to you approximately 4-6 weeks after each graduation date. If you wish to participate in a commencement and/or hooding ceremony, you will need to rent regalia.
