Graduation & Commencement Details

For student s who have applied for May or August graduation, a brochure with details about graduation and commencement should have gone out to you at the address you have listed with the University in your Wiser account. If you have not received it yet, you should shortly.

The information is also available on the University website, here:
http://www.umb.edu/commencement

Once your application is processed by the Registrar’s Office, you will be billed for graduation processing, and this will show up in your Wiser account as well, as a line item on your account.

If there were any issues with your graduation application you would have been contacted by the CM Graduate Program Office. If you were not contacted, your application was processed and returned to the Registrar’s Office.  For any questions about the status of your graduation application, please contact the Registrar’s Office directly.
