POLICY ON “PARTICIPATION IN GRADUATION”
Why is this section in the Faculty Handbook. What is the relevance?
“Each year there are a small number of students who have not fulfilled all of the requirements for graduation but who wish to participate in commencement exercises with their entering class. Students who have only three or fewer courses remaining to fulfill the requirements for graduation may participate in the graduation ceremony. Because of the number of required credit hours and sequential clinical requirements, Nursing students and students in combined joint degree programs with other universities may participate if they can reasonably be expected to complete all requirements by the end of August. The names of all such students throughout the University will not be included in the commencement program until the following May, after they have in fact been graduated.”
