On your application to graduate, please select the degree date that correlates to the term in which all of your academic requirements towards your degree are anticipated to be complete. Please note, your degree date may not necessarily be in the same term as the graduation commencement ceremony. Students expected to complete their degree requirements in a given calendar year are invited to participate in the commencement ceremony held in May of the same calendar year and will be included in the commencement booklet, provided the application to graduate has been submitted through Zagweb before the deadline.
