Registration
Commencement is different from graduating. Graduation is the completion of all degree requirements and awarding of your degree. Commencement is the ceremony that celebrates the achievement of students who have graduated or will soon graduate during the academic year.
If you complete your degree in the 2024-25 academic year (fall 2024, spring 2025, summer 2025), you are eligible to participate in Commencement.
Undergraduate students should contact the Registrar’s Evaluation Unit at gradunit@kcycar.com with questions regarding completion of degree requirements, degree conferral and diplomas.
For more information on how to apply to graduate, please visit the Apply for Your Graduation webpage of the Office of the Registrar.
Graduate students should contact the Office of Graduate Studies with questions regarding completion of degree requirements, degree conferral and diplomas. For more information on how to apply to graduate, please visit the Office of Graduate Studies website.
