Graduation
Students apply for graduation online and will electronically submit an Application for Graduation via the College website at http://www.barnesjewishcollege.edu/registration-office/graduation within the first 5 weeks of the graduating term. Upon receipt of the Application for Graduation, a degree audit is performed to ensure all graduation requirements have been fulfilled. If a student has not met the graduation requirements for his/her degree, the Academic and Support Advisor will contact the student regarding the deficiencies. All responsibilities and financial obligations to the College must be met no later than one month prior to graduation.
Eligibility to Participate in Commencement Exercises
Commencement exercises are held at the end of the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms. Students who have completed all graduation requirements or are in their last courses before fulfilling the program requirements are eligible to participate in commencement exercises. The College has three commencement dates (dates that degrees are conferred) per year in the months of May, August and December. Conferral of degrees occurs within 1 to 2 weeks after confirmation that all degree requirements are met.
