University College students work long and hard on the requirements for an associate or bachelor’s degree. The journey often takes decades, but the pride and satisfaction of finally reaching that goal is worth celebrating. All UC students who have successfully completed their studies in December 2007, May 2008, or June or August 2008 are invited to participate in Commencement and celebrate their achievements with their family, friends, professors, and classmates.
The University College Commencement Celebration for part-time students will take place on Thursday, May 8 at 6 p.m. at Hendricks Chapel. A reception will take place immediately following the ceremony at Heroy Geology Laboratory lobby, located behind Hendricks Chapel. Graduates are welcome to bring their guests to the reception, which is always a festive affair filled with grateful students, proud families, and a tempting array of finger foods and drinks.
If you would like to attend, you must R.S.V.P. by April 23 for you and your guests by calling 315-443-3261, or email kicook@uc.syr.edu. Parking information is available in the Irving Garage, and special needs parking is available in the Quad 1 lot. Click here for parking details and a map.
Before receiving your diploma, students must file a diploma request form. If you are planning to complete your degree work and have not filed your diploma request, please activate the “file diploma request” on MySlice.
Academic advisors are always available for information and advice, but it is the student’s responsibility to know and fulfill all degree requirements for graduation. Participation in Convocation and Commencement ceremonies does not necessarily indicate that all degree requirements have been completed. Please contact your advisor at 443-3261, if you have any questions.
