Good afternoon,
MSUB has only a spring ceremony. Summer grads can essentially choose.
· Students who apply by the November deadline (even if finishing summer) are included in the program and walk in April/May.
· Students who do not, are included in the future year program and walk the following April/May
We have always permitted fall grads with P/NP coursework (which used to amount to student teaching) the opportunity to walk the previous April/May. Still do.
Others are on a case by case basis. I see maybe 3 requests/year. I have seen a slight uptick with International students who find it a hardship to return to the States for ceremonies.
Cheri

Subject: Fall 2015 participating in ceremonies
HI all,
For those of you that have only one commencement ceremony a year, how many allow graduates for future fall semesters to participate in ceremonies (i.e. Fall 2015 graduates wanting to participate in the in the 14-15 ceremony instead of the 15-16 ceremony). We have seen an increase in these appeals this year and I was curious what other campuses are experiencing with commencement appeals?
Just curious of your approaches to this request.
Thanks
Charity
