CEREMONY INFORMATION  

• Graduation candidates must check their UCM email accounts often. Important graduation information is sent to degree candidates throughout the semester. 
• Your level (undergraduate or graduate), academic college, and/or academic program determines which ceremony you are to attend. If you are unsure which college or school your major/program belongs to, you can find Undergraduate listings here, and Graduate listings here. *Please note, not all teaching programs are in the College of Education.
