Doctoral students who are August degree candidates will be handled on a case-by-case basis depending upon when they are cleared by their major schools and the Office of Graduate Studies as having completed all of their degree requirements. Doctoral students must have a 3.0 minimum GPA to apply.
Summer 2013 graduates who do not meet these requirements will still have the option to participate in the fall commencement ceremony on December 13 and 14, 2013. Fall commencement ceremony information will be communicated to all summer 2013 degree candidates in July.
The form to request permission to participate in the spring commencement ceremony will be sent via email to all summer degree candidates who applied during the new application window from January 17 – February 28th. Students who petitioned to graduate in Fall 2012 or Spring 2013, but who did not do so, will be invited to reapplyfor Summer 2013 graduation, as well as file the request form to walk in the Spring 2013 Commencement ceremony. The request form will also be available on the Commencement website from March 1 to March 11. The Office of the Registrar will process the request forms and communicate directly with the students.
Due to space constraints, the number of summer degree candidates who can participate will be limited. In the event that we have more applicants than available tickets, Registrar’s Office staff will review the forms and select which students are allowed to participate based on the extenuating circumstances provided on the request form. Consultation with other offices on campus will occur as needed to ensure that all requests are given full and consistent consideration. Summer degree candidates will be notified prior to ticket distribution on March 13 whether their request will be granted.
