In order to have your name listed in the Winter Graduation and May Commencement programs, you must apply to graduate by the last day the graduation application is available on Patriot web for that semester.  Summer graduates eligible to participate in the May Commencement must apply by the Spring application deadline to be included in the May Commencement program.

The final list of names for the Graduation and Commencement Programs are compiled and released to the printer within days of the deadline. Exceptions will not be made. If you apply to graduate after the deadline, your name will not appear in the printed program.

Students who have placed a confidential hold on their record will not be included in the printed Graduation or Commencement programs. Any student with a confidential hold wishing to have his/her name included in the program must remove the hold before the last day that the graduation application is available on Patriot Web. Please submit the Request to Prevent Disclosure of Student Information form to the Office of the University Registrar to remove the hold.
