Spring 2022 Graduation
Sent on behalf of Elaine Belesky, Office of the Registrar
Students planning to graduate in Spring 2022 must complete the application in Self Service Carolina by Friday, March 4, 2022. Students that apply on time are included in the commencement program, invited to provide an accurate pronunciation of their name for commencement (if they plan to attend), and obtain guest tickets so that their family and friends can share this important milestone with them. The application is 100% online and takes 2-3 minutes to complete. From the Student module in SSC, they will select Graduation, then Apply to Graduate.  Please help our graduating seniors by encouraging them to apply early!
