Undergraduate and graduate students (MS candidates) who have two or fewer classes remaining to complete degree requirements after the Spring 2014 term will be eligible to request participation in the spring ceremony. Undergraduates must have a 2.0 minimum GPA, and master’s students must have a 2.7 minimum GPA. Extenuating personal and family circumstances or issues related to the proximity of the student’s home to Atlanta will also be taken into consideration. 

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.

The form to request permission to participate in the spring commencement ceremony will be available on the Commencement website in late January 2014. The Office of the Registrar will process the request forms and communicate directly with students by mid- March.

Due to space constraints, the number of summer degree candidates who can participate will be limited. Summer degree candidates will be notified prior to ticket distribution (mid-March) whether their request will be granted.
