Apply to Graduate - Late Fee/Request to Walk

Graduates who missed the Apply to Graduate/RSVP for Commencement deadline (March 15, 2026) and wish to participate (walk) in the May ceremony have the option to request approval to walk late. A late fee of $20 will be imposed on late walk requests, and this fee needs to be paid before approval to walk late can be given.

Please note: This late fee only applies to graduates who missed the Apply to Graduate/RSVP for Commencement deadline and who wish to participate (walk) in the Commencement Ceremony. This does not apply to graduates only receiving their diploma.

To request approval to walk late in the May Commencement Ceremony, please complete the LATE Request to Walk form by Noon on May 1, 2026. After Noon on May 1, 2026, you will not have the option to participate (walk) in the Commencement Ceremony.
