Registration Information

Registration for the Winter 2023 Commencement Ceremonies will open in late fall.  All students who submit their intent to graduate for August and December 2023 are eligible to participate in the ceremony and will receive an email when registration opens.

Please note that in order to participate in the ceremony, students must be in good standing with Student Business Services and must have a zero balance or have a payment plan approved and in place no later than two weeks before the ceremony.
