Also known as convocation, this ceremony is held with your individual college or school instead of your entire graduating class.
At convocation, your name will be read as you walk across the stage and receive your diploma cover. Your actual diploma will be mailed post-graduation to the address you provided in your graduation application.
Want to celebrate with your entire graduating class? Join us at commencement!
