Graduating students must apply online for degree conferral in Campus Connect by June 1 for a July graduation, by October 1 for a December graduation, or February 1 for a May graduation. Once the online application has been submitted, students will be prompted to order their cap and gown and to reserve a place for themselves and their guests at the May commencement ceremony.
The College of Law Office of Student Affairs will email a certificate application to all JD students who have applied for degree conferral. Students will not file their certificate application through Campus Connect. Students must submit a certificate application to the Office of Student Affairs even if the certificate program has been added to their Academic Plan and Degree Progress Report. Students may apply for only one certificate. Students may apply for a certificate even if they are completing the necessary credits in their final semester. Certificates are awarded to qualified applicants at the same time as the JD degree.
