Graduation is the official conferral/awarding of degrees earned.  Dominican confers degrees five times each year. For actual conferral dates see the academic calendar.

Commencement celebrates the completion of degree programs.  Dominican holds only one commencement in spring to which students from all five dates, who have applied, are invited to participate.  For more information see the commencement page.

Graduation Applications are submitted prior to your final semester to determine eligibility for degree conferral. 

These applications should not be confused with commencement participation. 

When completing the form, you will be required to choose the term in which you plan to complete degree requirements.

Please make sure you are logged into myDU before you complete and submit the application.

Academic Policy Regarding Participation in a Commencement Ceremony

• Participation in a Commencement ceremony does not represent satisfactory completion of all degree requirements. Students do not receive an official diploma or have access to their official transcript signifying graduation, until all course requirements have been fulfilled.
• A student may participate in only one Commencement ceremony and his or her name will appear only in the printed program for that ceremony, even if the degree is completed and conferred at a later date.
• Students participating in a Commencement ceremony before all degree requirements have been met will not be recognized for Latin honors during that ceremony.
• This policy governs academic conditions for participating in commencement ceremonies. Other conditions—including, for example, student accounts—may also apply.
