Commencement Exercises
Elizabeth City State University has two Commencements: one ending the Spring Semester and the other ending the Fall Semester. Students completing their requirements during or by the end of the last term of Summer or Fall Semester will participate in the Fall Commencement ceremony. Those finishing at the end of the Spring Semester will participate in the Spring Commencement ceremony. Finally, the student "Bearer of the Mace" will function during the Fall and Spring ceremonies. (To meet the requirements for "Bearer of the Mace," the candidate must complete all degree requirements at Elizabeth City State University and have earned the highest cumulative grade point average in the graduating class for the prospective Commencement Exercise.)
