Final conferral deadlines for inclusion in March ceremonies

Both academic and professional staff serve as front line communicators with our students. As such, it is imperative that all interactions are clear and consistent regarding the compressed conferral deadlines -  and the impact they have students who are transitioning or completing their programs in 2025.
