Graduation
The term “Graduation” refers to the completion of an academic degree, whether at the undergraduate or graduate level.
Formal ceremonies, referred to as the Commencement Exercises, are held three (3) times a year, as follows:
- Graduates of Term 1 – February
- Graduates of Term 2 – June
- Graduates of Term 3 – October
Graduation, however, is not automatic. A student needs to apply to graduate. Because of the peculiarities of the undergraduate and graduate programs, the procedures for application to graduate are different.
This article contains the following sections:
Schedules
The schedules of graduation activities can be accessed in this link.
Application to Graduate
