Graduation

Students wishing to graduate must complete all degree requirements, including Community Service Project, Communication Competency Requirement (CCR), and Program Portfolio (if applicable) by their intended graduation date.

It is your responsibility to file a Petition for Graduation. Ideally, you should do this when registering two semesters prior to when you expect to graduate! You can either do this by completing the online form under Quick Info or by downloading the form and returning it to the Office of the Registrar. At the time of the application, verify the spelling of your name for your diploma and your current residing address for informational mailings.

Remember, the College does not confer a degree without receiving your complete Application for Graduation.

Recommended application deadlines are:

Graduation Application Deadlines

Candidates for graduation will receive information regarding graduation events by mail from the Dean of Enrollment and Student Services. Other graduation details will be published in the Mercy Messenger and emailed to students throughout the semester.

Graduating students are invited to attend Commencement.
