  2. Graduation Application.  Students who anticipate successful completion of their program course requirements for degrees or certificates should submit a graduation application by the first week of their final semester. 
     
  3. Caps and Gowns.  Items for graduation Including official commencement caps and gowns can be purchased through the Barnes and Noble Bookstore on your campus.
