COMMENCEMENT
Commencement ceremonies at UWF are held twice a year, Fall and Spring for students graduating with a Baccalaureate, Masters, Specialists, or Doctorate degrees. Associate of Arts candidates are not permitted to participate in the commencement ceremony. Doctoral students must be approved by the Office of Graduate Studies prior to participating in the commencement ceremony.

Those students who plan to graduate in the summer should apply for summer graduation only. Summer grads have the option to participate in the either preceding spring or following fall ceremony. Doctoral students intending to graduate in the summer may not participate in the spring ceremony unless the dissertation has been fully approved and participation is approved by the Dean of Graduate Studies. ?Applications for Graduation? should be turned in to the major department by the date stated in the Academic Calendar in this Catalog. Students should receive information about graduation through their student email accounts. If information is not received, students should contact the Commencement Marshal or the Office of the Registrar. Commencement information is also available on the web at http://uwf.edu/commencement/.
