APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION

Every student who anticipates graduating from Wesleyan must complete and submit an application for graduation according to the following dates-August graduation: April 1-June 15; December graduation: July 1-September 15; May graduation: October 30-December 15. Students may participate in Commencement if they have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and an average in the major of 2.0 at the time of Commencement and no more than 6 semester hours of credit remaining for degree completion based on the College’s degree requirements. The semester hours remaining for degree completion may include course work for which a grade of Incomplete has been received, but the incomplete course work may not exceed the total 6 semester hours of credit remaining for graduation. Students are not eligible for honors until all course work is completed. Students may march at commencement only once for any degree earned and are urged to complete unfinished course work as soon as possible after commencement since the degree is not conferred and the diploma not awarded until all college degree requirements have been satisfactorily completed. Students meeting these criteria and wishing to participate in commencement exercises must complete a Commencement Participation Form. The same deadlines apply as for graduation applications. Graduation applications are valid for the designated commencement date only. Students who do not graduate must submit a new application for the next commencement date. All fees are non-refundable.  Diplomas will be mailed to the students’ permanent addresses approximately 90 days after the commencement ceremony.
