No. Students can only participate in the commencement in which they are first eligible (based upon the term for which the student submitted an online graduation application). Students cannot participate in more than one ceremony for the same degree program. Therefore, if you were eligible to participate in a previous year’s commencement, you are ineligible to participate this year.
You can submit a Change of Curriculum Form using Student Self-Service. Please see the Change of Curriculum Form Instructions (pdf) if you have any questions regarding the completion of the form.
You may order an eDiploma through the Online Diploma Service which is available through our official diploma vendor, The Michael Sutter Company.

You will receive your eDiploma within minutes of ordering after all degrees have been conferred for the applicable semester. You can then share your eDiploma as often as you need.
