Each year there are a small number of students who have not fulfilled all of the requirements for graduation but who wish to participate in spring commencement events. Students who have only nine or fewer credits remaining to fulfill the requirements for graduation may participate in the spring VSB Recognition Ceremony and Commencement ceremony as a “walker” if they will complete these requirements during the following summer semester. The names of all such students throughout the University will not be included in the commencement program until the following May, after they have met the degree requirements. Students who wish to be walkers in the spring must contact the Graduate Office in advance to be added to the Walker’s list.
