Commencement

The university typically hosts two commencement ceremonies, one following the spring term in May and one following the fall term in December.

Students who are enrolled in their final semester and completing all requirements for graduation, must complete a graduation application through their myUHV account by the published deadline to participate in the commencement ceremonies. Students who miss the deadline to apply for graduation will not be allowed to participate in the current semester’s commencement ceremony.  Students can submit an Appeal to Graduate request within 10 days from the deadline. All applications received after the 10-day appeal period, will only be eligible to participate in the next semester’s ceremony.

Students who indicate they will participate at commencement will receive information from commencement@uhv.edu about caps, gowns, tickets, and the ceremony day. For more information about commencement, visit www.uhv.edu/graduation.
