Commencement and Graduation

Commencement refers to the ceremony in which students who are eligible to graduate, participate. The achievement of the degree is recognized and celebrated by MMC’s community and the students’ friends and family. Students must apply to graduate and to participate in Commencement.

Graduation is the process of awarding a degree. Graduation involves:

1. filing the Graduation Application form;
2. certifying all final grades are completed;
3. completing ALL degree requirements, and
4. satisfying all financial obligations to the College.

Students should note that participation in commencement does not indicate or guarantee degree completion. To officially graduate from MMC, students must fulfill all degree requirements (including General Education, Program Major(s), concentration, minor, and College). The official graduation date is not the College’s commencement date. A student’s official graduation date is based upon when a student files his/her graduation application and when the student completes all degree requirements (See “Degree Conferral Date”) above.
