Degrees are conferred three times a year in May, August, and December. The commencement convocation is held once a year in May.

Failure to comply with the above schedule may result in a delay of degree conferral. Part-time students will be billed a graduation fee upon submitting the application for graduation. The graduation application fee is not refundable. In the event the student does not complete the requirements for the degree within one year of the original indicated date, a new application will be required.
