Are you a graduating senior planning to participate in the Spring 2027 Commencement Ceremony? Then it is important for you to review your degree audit now to ensure you meet the eligibility requirements:
- Commencement Participation (32 Units): You must have at least 32 OWU units completed or in progress during the Spring 2027 semester to participate in the ceremony. If you participate with 32 units, you can finish your remaining degree requirements in the summer or fall.
- Participation Policy: Students with fewer than 32 OWU units completed or pending as of Spring 2027 are not eligible to participate in the 2027 ceremony and will celebrate their graduation at the Spring 2028 Commencement Ceremony instead.
- Degree Completion (34 Units): Earning your OWU degree requires a minimum of 34 units, along with completing all major, general education, and GPA requirements.
Next Steps for Seniors
- Check Your Audit and Course Plan: You must be on track to have at least 32 units in progress or completed as of Spring 2027 to participate in Commencement (and a minimum of 34 units to earn your OWU degree).
- Verify Outside Credits: Ensure all AP, College Credit Plus, or transfer credits are fully processed and visible on your record.
- Submit Graduation Application: Check your Degree Audit to see if this step has already been completed! If it has not been completed, please submit your Graduation Application as soon as possible.
