Policy Change Regarding Graduation Commencement
A recent change in policy from Wright State's Faculty Senate regarding students participating in a commencement ceremony:
The change approved by the Faculty Senate effectively ends the option for students to participate in a later commencement ceremony other than the semester they graduated from. As such, if you have already graduated and wish to participate in a commencement ceremony, we highly recommend you register for the Fall 2017 commencement ceremony as this will be your last option to do so.
If you are graduating this semester (Fall 2017) or graduated in the Summer 2017 semester then the Fall 2017 commencement ceremony is, likewise, your only option for "walking" in a commencement ceremony. To do this you need to you need to make sure that you have indicated in WINGS that you will be attending the fall 2017 ceremony.
Wright State does stream the commencement ceremonies on their website (https://www.wright.edu/streaming) so family members could potentially view this fall's commencement through the live stream.
Please understand that this was University policy decision approved at the end of the last academic year. If you have any questions about this policy change you can contact the Graduate School via: wsugrad@wright.edu (graduate students) or the Registrar's Office wsu-registrar@wright.edu (undergraduate students).
*Please also note that you are welcome to participate in any of the future UCIE Graduation Receptions, regardless of when you graduate.
