Things To Do Before You Graduate
Congratulations on your upcoming graduation. Important details are provided below. Please read carefully.
- File for Graduation
At the beginning of your graduating semester, you must submit a Graduating Student Form for the university to certify your graduation.
If you complete this form at least eight weeks prior to graduation, you will receive your diploma at Commencement.
- Confirm Commencement Attendance
Baylor assumes all graduates will walk in the commencement ceremony. If you are unable to attend, you must let the Registrar's Office know by completing the Non-participation Form.
If you submit the Non-participation Form, your diploma will be mailed to you after the ceremony. This may take up to two weeks depending on time of year.
- Confirm Hooding Ceremony Attendance and Provide Information.
- Attend Evaluation Meeting (MBA Only)
During your graduating semester, you will meet with the Associate Dean for Graduate Business Program to share your impressions of your experience at Baylor. All MBA students will also complete the online EBI survey, which helps Baylor benchmark its MBA program with other top business schools.
- Purchase Cap and Gown
Graduates wear traditional academic dress which you may purchase at the Baylor Bookstore on campus. Master's degree regalia includes a cap, gown, tassel, and hood. The color of the hood is "drab" (tan).
The Business School will host a Hooding Ceremony and reception to present you with your master's hood.
