GRADUATION VS. COMMENCEMENT<\/h2>\n

Graduation is an exciting time in college. You\u2019ve survived all your classes and now it\u2019s time to celebrate. However, before you walk across the stage in your cap and gown, we would like for you to understand the difference between commencement and graduation:<\/p>\n

Graduation<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Fulfillment of academic requirements of all declared program and the award of a degree and diploma<\/p>\n

Commencement<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A ceremony where students walk dressed in academic regalia (cap and gown) to be congratulated by the university\u2019s leadership and faculty<\/div>\n

Commencement is a celebration, but it doesn’t mean you’ve officially graduated and earned your degree. Graduation is awarded after your college advising office for your major has approved your record and the Registrar\u2019s Office has completed final degree certification.<\/p>\n

If you have applied as a \u201cwalk only\u201d candidate for the commencement ceremony, please note that your record will not be reviewed for degree certification that semester. It is your responsibility to refile the Intent to Graduate application in the semester that you enroll in your remaining requirements. This is not an automatic process.\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

The UCF Registrar’s Office conducts identical commencement ceremonies each semester. For information about commencement, the ceremony schedule, cap & gown, and tickets, please visit the commencement website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GRADUATION VS.
