Apply for Program Completion |
Spring 2024 graduating students must apply for Program Completion by February 15. If your student's degree was
not completed in Summer 2023 or Fall 2023 terms, then they must apply for Program Completion. If your student has not already applied for Program Completion, they must visit the Registrar’s MyHub for instructions. Failure to apply by this deadline will prevent them from inclusion in the Commencement book and will prevent their degree from being conferred.

Review Your Name for Diplomas, Transcripts, and the Commencement Program |
A student's legal name as it appears in Workday will be used for official documents (transcripts, diplomas) from the Office of the Registrar. Students should review their legal name in Workday and make changes using this Workday Guide. If a student would like their
preferred name to appear in the Commencement Program instead of their legal name (legal names must be used on the diploma and transcript), they must submit our Preferred Name Commencement Book Request by March 1, 2024.
