2023 Commencement Ceremony
We are excited to announce that we will be holding our 2023 Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 9:20 a.m., at the George Gervin GameAbove Center (formerly the EMU Convocation Center).
All students who will be completing their degree or certificate must submit an application for graduation to be able to participate in the commencement ceremony. To ensure your name appears in the printed commencement program, you must submit your application by April 28, 2023. Please be sure to apply for the semester in which you plan to finish your courses. June and August candidates will still be invited to commencement as long as their application is submitted by the deadline.
The conferring of degrees and certificates and the awarding of honors highlight the commencement exercises. Students receiving an associate degree or certificate of 15 credits or more are invited to participate.
