GRADUATION ELIGIBILITY
You must file an Application for Graduation form
with the Registrar's Office by Friday, March 8, 2013 in order to be eligible
to graduate and for your name to appear in the commencement
program. Only an official notification from the Registrar's
Office should be accepted as a definitive statement of your graduation. Receipt
of a commencement letter from Student Life does not signify that
you have fulfilled all your academic requirements and does not
indicate that you are eligible to graduate.
FILING DEADLINES
The deadline for ordering cap and gown online is Tuesday, April 16, 2013.
To order your cap and gown and Commencement guest tickets, please submit the

Student Order Form. The deadline to complete orders is Tuesday, April 16, 2013.
If you missed the ordering deadline, you can still purchase your cap and gown in person on distribution days (see below). Please fill out the online form to request tickets, but know that your order is not complete until you have purchased your cap and gown.
