Celebration: The ceremony held by the Columbian College to celebrate your accomplishment. You will sit with other students from your major and your name will be called.
Conferred: This means you have officially been granted your degree. If you have finished your requirements but have not yet been granted your degree, then your degree has not yet been conferred.
Graduation: The point in time when your degree is conferred. This happens after the Celebration and Commencement ceremonies, and is dependent upon your completion of your degree requirements. It is possible to participate in Commencement and Celebration and not graduate from the Columbian College.
Commencement: The university-wide ceremony held on the National Mall. All schools and degree candidates are present for this event.
After all of your grades have posted, you will receive an email from your advisor letting you know whether or not you have been cleared to graduate.
Work closely with your advisor to complete your degree. If you completed the coursework to satisfy your missing requirements during this past semester and your missing requirement(s) is/are the result of an administrative delay, you can still be a graduate in this term. Administrative delays include but are not limited to: missing grades for completed work and/or missing transfer credit from a U.S. institution or study abroad program. Since there is no automated way for your advisor to monitor changes to your transcript, it is your responsibility to monitor your GWeb transcript and contact your advisor when missing requirements have been completed.
If you did not complete the requirements for your degree during this past semester, you must take these steps to complete your degree:
