Beginning with the 2012-2013 academic year, WAU will hold only ONE graduation per year.

As usual, the University will host its traditional commencement ceremony following the conclusion of the spring semester. Diplomas will also continue to be issued at the end of the summer session and the fall semester, although no ceremonies will take place at those times.

Students who will be within six credits of completing their degrees at the conclusion of the Spring 2013 semester may petition to participate in this year’s commencement. All such petitions should be submitted to the Office of the Registrar no later than April 1, 2013.

• Graduation Fees: $85 Contract fee and $150 Senior Class fee
