At Carroll, we allow December graduates to participate in either May commencement ceremony – I would say more students choose to participate early rather than waiting, but often it depends on when their friends are walking and which graduating “class” they want to identify with. Allowing them to choose between ceremonies creates a bit of a headache, but if we didn’t I think we’d be in your situation having to grant a bunch of petitions.
July grads almost always participate in the May ceremony prior to finishing up in the summer.
Best,
Cassie

FVCC allows students who are registered for summer classes to apply for summer graduation but walk in the spring ceremony. Fall graduates, if they want to walk, must do so the following spring.

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
