Convocation Participation: Request for Exception, DNP & PhD

Exceptions are not guaranteed and lack of space for additional students and their guests at Centennial Hall may result in exceptions being denied.

Students submitting a Request for Exception should have an approved Proposal Defense on file no later than December 2, 2024.

Keep in mind: students graduating for Spring 2025 - holding a final oral defense Spring 2025 - should plan on participating in the Spring 2025 Convocation.

The Request for Exception pertains to:

Students planning to hold a Final Oral Defense during winter session.
Students planning to hold their Final Oral Defense Fall 2024, but for various reasons, must (re)schedule it for the Winter 2024 session.

Students granted an exception must also submit an RSVP for Convocation by the published deadline or they will NOT be able to participate. No exceptions.
