It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that all the graduation requirements of the school, including certification of the major, have been fully met well before the expected date of graduation. Student records are officially closed upon graduation. A graduate cannot retroactively improve his or her cumulative grade-point average by completing work or taking additional courses after the degree has been conferred.

- May Graduation: January 2 – March 1
- August Graduation (Undergraduate): June 1 – August 15
- October Graduation (Graduate Level): June 1 – August 15
- January Graduation: September 1 – December 19

**Unless the application is filed by the appropriate deadline, the degree is not conferred and graduation is delayed.**
