Graduation

Donnelly College holds one graduation ceremony in May of each year to honor all candidates who complete degree requirements within the academic year.

In October, March and July petitions to graduate are filed with the Registrar who certifies that degree requirements are being met. A graduation fee is assessed at the time of petition. Basic education requirements are to be completed before a student petition for graduation.

Those students who complete requirements in December may receive diplomas without ceremony at the end of the term but may also participate in the ceremonies the following May. Students who lack three or fewer credits to graduate in May will be listed as candidates for July graduation and will be permitted to participate in the May ceremonies provided, they have registered to take the missing course in the summer. Diplomas will be withheld until all requirements are completed.
