All students nearing the completion of their certification or degree programs should make application for graduation at the beginning of Spring Quarter. This shall be done through the Registrar's office, and a completed form to this effect should be filed.

Each student should print his or her name as they wish it to appear on any documents issued.

The student and Registrar shall then meet for the purpose of validating that all requirements and commitments have been made. A graduation fee of $100.00 or $30.00 (depending on degree or certificate; see page 9 for a list of fees,) shall then be paid. All outstanding tuition and fees must be paid in full at least one month prior to graduation.

If a student is dismissed from the Seminary prior to the graduation services for any reason, they will not be permitted to participate in any commencement programs. Their name shall not be printed on any official programs.

 

Commencement shall be held once a year on the fourth Saturday of August every year. As long as all requirements have been fulfilled and fees paid, students may choose to have their degrees and or certificates awarded during the school year. They may also choose to participate in Commencement at the end of the Summer Quarter with their classmates as long as they have not entered into any unfavorable conduct leading up to the date of Commencement.

The Registrar and Admissions Committee will make all deteminations considering Commencement participation.
