Pursuing an Associate or Baccalaureate degree?

The University of Akron conducts three commencement ceremonies a year which occur at the end of the fall, spring and summer semesters.

All candidates for Associate or Baccalaureate degrees must initiate the graduation process by submitting a graduation application to the Office of the University Registrar.

There is no charge for submitting a graduation application if it is received in the Office of the University Registrar no later than the deadline identified in the following schedule:

Graduation Term Application Deadline
Spring 2008 September 17, 2007
Summer 2008 February 15, 2008
Fall 2008 May 15, 2008
Spring 2009 September 15, 2008
Summer 2009 February 16, 2009
Fall 2009 May 15, 2009

Applications received after the stated deadline must be accompanied by (1) a memo from your academic dean that clearly states the rationale for granting you permission to violate the graduation application deadline and (2) a $100 late application fee.
