Congratulations Graduates!
We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting our annual Graduation celebrations in the Spring. This May 2024, we will be honoring the accomplishments of those graduating during Summer 2023, Fall 2023 and Spring 2024.
To participate in the ceremony and graduate successfully, it is important to keep in mind that there are two crucial steps that must be completed.
steps to graduating
STEP 1
Apply to Graduate
This is the crucial step that determines whether you have fulfilled all of the academic requirements for your degree/program.
*Reminder: this is what enables you to get your diploma
STEP 2
RSVP to Graduation Ceremony
This next step is all about you! Celebrate your accomplishments by walking across the stage.
*Reminder: It's important to note that applying to graduate (Step 1) does not guarantee your attendance at the Graduation Ceremony. To ensure that you don't miss out on participating in this special occasion, it's critical to RSVP to the ceremony.
