Portland Graduation: Odds and Ends

Grades for Spring Grads

Graduates will receive their diploma by mail, within 6-9 weeks of degree confirmation. In whatever term you finish, it is helpful to work ahead with your instructors to set early due dates for your work, as final grades must be submitted prior to your degree being confirmed.

Summer Registration

Summer graduates are required to register for all summer courses no later than April 6. If you will not be able to meet this requirement, please notify This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Childcare

Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide childcare at the commencement or banquet. Please make childcare arrangements for all children under five, and for older children who would not enjoy sitting quietly for an extended period of time. There is an accessible family viewing room and we do invite mothers of nursing babies to bring their nursing infants to these events.

Honors

Many graduates are curious about whether or not they'll be graduating with honors. Honors are determined by your final grade point average (GPA). An honors listing will be in the program at commencement.
