A student who is within two courses of fulfilling her degree requirements may be eligible to march in the commencement ceremony. Only students whose cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher are eligible to Petition to March.
Permission to march may be granted only upon petition by the student, with departmental approval and recommendation of the Academic Review Committee. The petition shall include the student’s plan for completing remaining degree requirements during the following summer and/or next academic year.
If there are problems with the petition, the Dean of Undergraduate Studies will consult with the student’s Department Chair. The Dean will then make a recommendation to the Academic Review Committee concerning approval or denial of the petition. Petitions are not automatically approved and denial of a petition is final.
Students whose petitions are approved will be allowed to march in the Commencement ceremony. Once students have completed all degree requirements, the Office of the Registrar will issue a diploma.
