Complete graduation audits and post
degrees to student records.
-
Assist with the graduation rehearsals
and ceremonies.
-
Bill graduation fees to student
accounts.
-
Order regalia (caps and gowns, etc.) and
diplomas for graduation.
-
Keep students updated about graduation!

FOR THE CLASS OF
2008-2009:
|
|
Graduation fees for 2008-2009:
Graduation fees are due March 1, 2009. However, if you graduate
before spring semester and wish to have a degree-posted transcript, you
must pay the graduation fee and any other outstanding fees, etc. before
you can receive the transcript. |
Graduation Announcements: Jostens will mail graduation
announcement information to students in Feb./March 2009. At that time you can view/order
on line at:
http://www.jostens.com/graduation/college/announcements
after Feb. 1
or you can place your order by calling 1-800-353-5299. |
|
Graduation Audits:
Audits are completed once a semester and a hard copy of the audit is
mailed to the student and adviser. The graduation audit is also available
online in CampusWEB. ONLY students who've applied for graduation and had
an audit completed will be able to view their audit in CampusWEB. If
paperwork comes in between mailed hard copies, you may see a change on the
online audit. Pay close attention to the "updated date" on the CampusWEB
audit! |
|
Caps and Gowns: Your
graduation regalia (cap and gown, etc) will be delivered to the closest
Brenau campus April 2009. The location is determined by the campus you were
associated with at the time your cap and gown were ordered. The
Registrar's Office will mail you a post card when they are delivered -
this is usually during the month of April. The
card will let you know where to get your regalia and the office hours of
that location. At the same time, you will receive your graduation tickets
(if you are attending). Because we are issuing tickets and caps and
gowns, you will be required to have a picture id to retrieve them. We do the best to make it as convenient as possible for you to pick up
your regalia. If the location on the post card is not convenient and there
is a more convenient campus nearby, contact the Registrar's Office and
we'll do our best to accommodate you! |
What to Expect:
Students often ask what mailings to expect
from the Registrar's Office during the year (other than graduation
audits.)
- Early Feb. - You will receive a
letter about your diploma. The letter will ask you to contact us if the
name that was input into your "diploma order" was not spelled correctly.
We will also include a post card (that we ask you to return) that will
ask you to verify your graduation attendance.
- March: You will receive a
congratulatory letter from the Registrar. With that letter, you
will receive information about the ceremony (what to wear, number of
tickets you will receive, etc). You will also receive directions and
parking information. All students receive this information, even if you
informed us that you will not be at graduation.
- March: You should receive
information from Jostens about Graduation Announcements. (You will
receive information of and on throughout the year from Jostens as well.)
- April: You will receive a post
card as to when and where to pick up your cap and gown. We try to have
your cap and gown delivered to the campus that is closest to your home
address.

FOR OUR SUMMER 2009
GRADUATES:
If you apply for graduation for 2008-2009 and
will finish your graduation requirements during summer semester 2009, or will
have transient credit or CLEP credit that is outstanding at the graduation
ceremony, please submit a Summer Form. The
form is available on our web site.
These forms are not due until about mid semester spring 2009 because
many students won't know the exact summer classes they will need until
after spring registration.
When we complete spring audits and see that you will not be completing
your requirements during spring semester, we will send you the Summer
Graduation Form if we do not already have one on file
