If I "walk" in the May ceremony, does that mean I graduated?
No, it does not. Participation in the Commencement ceremony does not imply or infer
that you have completed all requirements for graduation or that you are entitled to
be awarded a degree at the time. Certification of transcripts must be completed before
a degree is officially awarded.
If I am not due to graduate until August, am I permitted to walk in May?
Yes, as long as the following criteria are met:
- The student is within seven credits of completion.
- The student will fulfill all remaining requirements by the end of summer session at 老司机福利网.
- The student is registered for the required classes.
Do we receive graduation announcements?
Yes. Each graduate receives ten graduation announcements, and you will receive an
email when your announcements are available for pickup in the Office of Student Services.
Note: the announcements are not tickets. You may invite as many guests as you wish
to the University Commencement. No tickets are required.
On which side does my tassel go?
If you are receiving a doctoral degree, you will place your tassel on the left side.
You do not move the tassel to the right; it remains on the left before, during and
after graduating.
Who do I contact for additional questions?
You may contact Janel Esker, Law School Registrar, at (314) 977-2769, or Jon Baris,
Dean of Students, at (314) 977-3675.
