Commencement Ceremony Policy Effective beginning Fiscal Year 2009-2010 the University of Tennessee at Martin will offer two commencement ceremonies annually. One ceremony will be held in May and the other will be held in December.
Degrees will continue to be conferred three times annually. Conferral will occur in May, August, and December. Degree candidates will participate in the ceremony which falls immediately after completing all degree requirements for their respective degrees as follows:
Students who complete degree requirements during the Maymester or summer semester will have their degrees conferred and awarded in August. Their transcripts will reflect the completion of their respective degrees, and their diplomas will be mailed early during the following fall semester.
Only students who plan to complete degree requirements during the spring semester and who have been declared as spring degree candidates may walk during the May ceremony. Students will only be allowed to participate in one commencement ceremony per degree earned; therefore, if a student fails to meet a degree requirement in time for the planned semester of graduation, but is granted permission to remain as a participant in the planned ceremony, then they will not be allowed to participate in the ceremony at the time of degree conferral.
Generally no exceptions to the participation schedule listed above will be made. However, requests will be handled on a case by case basis and approved by the registrar, dean of student’s college and the vice chancellor of academic affairs.
