What is “walking through” the ceremony?
If you are unable to finish all the requirements for your degree by the end of Spring Quarter, you will not officially graduate or confer your degree, but you may take part in the graduation ceremony if you meet certain criteria. This status is commonly referred to as “walking.” Doctoral students must have successfully defended in Spring Quarter in order to walk-through the ceremony. Students in the four-quarter master programs: ICE and LDT walk through the ceremony as well. Please contact your Program Officer for information and to submit your walk-through request.
