Participation in Commencement Ceremonies
Central Connecticut State University holds one undergraduate Commencement ceremony annually at the end of the Spring semester.
Any undergraduate student who has filed a graduation application for Spring or Summer, and whose Spring degree evaluation confirms that the student is registered to complete all degree requirements by the end of the semester that they have filed for graduation, will be allowed to participate in the Spring Commencement ceremony.
Any undergraduate student who has filed a graduation application for Spring or Summer and whose Spring degree evaluation confirms that the student will have completed all but nine (9) or fewer credit hours required for the degree by the end of the Spring semester will be allowed to participate in the Spring Commencement ceremony.
Any undergraduate student who has filed a graduation application for Fall, and subsequently completes all course work and graduates, will be invited to participate in the following Spring’s Commencement ceremony.
Undergraduate students, who have filed a graduation application for Spring or Summer, and have more than nine (9) credit hours of work remaining will not be allowed to participate in the Commencement ceremony. However, in the case of extraordinary circumstances, such as family or health emergencies, students may appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs or designee. The student may be required to provide supporting documentation in making such an appeal. The decision of the Vice President for Academic Affairs or designee is final.
