Commencement Graduate Student
You're almost there!
Written notices regarding Commencement are emailed in February to participants who have officially applied for graduation. If you have not received an email, please contact the Office of Records and Registration to confirm your eligibility status.
RSVP
All students must RSVP. Please complete the RSVP form whether you are attending or not.
ACADEMIC REGALIA
It's very important that you order and pay for your regalia from The Nest. You cannot walk in the ceremony without academic regalia. Regalia will be available for pick up in The Nest starting April 5, 2024. Before going to The Nest to pick up your regalia, please allow three days for processing after you place your order and submit payment online.
The deadline to order regalia to be shipped directly to you is April 19, 2024.
Important Reminders
- Commencement will be held outdoors, regardless of weather. Please come prepared to be outdoors, rain or shine.
- No tickets are required; and there are no limits on number of guests.
- Please continue to monitor this webpage as well as your student email account. All communications to eligible participants regarding Commencement will be sent to student email accounts, so it is important that you continue to check your account through the ceremony date.
- Ride share services are not a reliable mode of transportation when leaving Waynesburg University. While these services are accessible in other areas such as Allegheny County and can transport you to Waynesburg University, there are not local drivers in Greene County for your return trip. If you are not planning to bring your own vehicle to Commencement, a rental may be the best option to ensure your departure from Waynesburg goes smoothly.
So you're ready to graduate
Below is information on the steps you need to take to make that happen.
Wondering when you'll get your diploma?
Diplomas will be sent to the home address on file in the Office of Records and Registration via first-class mail. Students completing degree requirements beyond the Commencement Ceremony will receive their diploma approximately one month after the respective term of completion. Diplomas for graduates with any holds still on their account will not be mailed until after holds are released.
