04.14.01 Marching on completion
Students are assigned to (or re-assigned to) a particular class year if they are likely, expected, or eligible to complete their degree in May, August or December of that calendar year. Undergraduate students who will complete their eighth semester of study in May but must complete coursework during the summer or fall, must perform a recital, or will participate in the FORTE program through the Music Education department during the fall semester will be considered “on completion” and should plan on participating in the May commencement ceremonies of that calendar year. These students may not participate in the commencement ceremonies for the following class year.
Students who begin their studies in a January session and who will complete their eighth semester of study in December of their class year should plan on participating in the preceding May commencement (of the same calendar year). A student who will complete all degree requirements in December may participate in the following May commencement ceremonies on degree pending status only if they request, in writing to the Registrar, that their official class year be changed.
