Q: Will refunds be given?
No, the University has announced the decision to postpone its 2020 Spring Commencement ceremonies. The intent is to reschedule to a future date and hold ceremonies open to all students who were eligible to participate in the Spring. The fee will continue to fund the rescheduled ceremony as well as the cost of services/items listed below.
The Graduation Fee includes the following:
- Grad Check Evaluation
- Diploma (mailed to you within 6-8 weeks)
- Participation in the commencement ceremony
- Diploma Cover
- Printed commemorative program.
Should a student be unable to take part in the ceremony, they can request the diploma cover and printed program be mailed to them once available.
Q: When will I receive my Honors Cord?
Due to the Spring 2020 Commencement ceremony being postponed, cords will not be distributed for students who petitioned to graduate for Spring 2020 until after Spring 2020 grades have been finalized and degrees have been conferred. For students who petitioned to graduate for Summer 2020, cords will not be distributed until after Summer 2020 grades have been finalized and degrees have been conferred. Spring 2020 recipients will be notified via email from the Office of the Registrar by July 6, and by August 17 for summer recipients. If you’ve already received an email and will be eligible for a higher honors level after your final Spring or Summer 2020 grades, you will be notified of the adjustment and will receive the appropriate cord.
