Commencement

COMMENCEMENT

Upon approval of the Board of Trustees and payment of any outstanding financial obligations to the college, the student will receive the Master of Education degree, the Master of Arts in Counseling degree, or the Education Specialist degree from the President of Doane University.

The commencement ceremony is held twice a year at the end of the fall semester and the end of the spring semester. Students who complete their degree program in either August or December will be invited to participate in the December commencement.  Students who complete their degree program in May will be invited to participate in the May commencement.  Students must have completed all requirements for the degree before they can participate in graduation ceremonies, and when they complete their program, they cannot postpone participation in the commencement ceremony until a later semester. That is, if students are August or December graduates, they can only participate in the December ceremony.  If a student is a May graduate, he/she can only participate in the May ceremony.
