Degree Completion & Graduation

Saint Michael’s College awards degrees three times per academic year: in December (after fall term), in May (after spring term), and in August (after summer term). For August and December graduates, degrees are added to transcripts and diplomas are mailed within three weeks of the official graduation date. May graduates generally receive diplomas at the May Commencement ceremony. Degrees are added to May graduates’ student records within one week of Commencement. For those who do not attend Commencement, diplomas are mailed within three weeks following the ceremony.

The Registrar’s Office requires that students fill out a Graduation Application at the beginning of the academic year in which the degree is expected. The application allows the College to collect information on how students want their names on their diplomas, the hometowns they want listed in the Commencement program, and more. Students with senior standing are notified and prompted by email to fill out the graduation application in KnightVision.
