Students must submit their application for graduation prior to Feb. 1, 2008 to be included in the May 2008 graduation list.

Students who submit their Application for Graduation will hear from Enrollment Services via e-mail to confirm receipt of their application. General information about Commencement will be mailed out in March from the Registrar with a response card for students to indicate if they are attending the University-wide ceremony and/or the Master's Degree ceremony. A follow up letter outlining further details for attendees will then be mailed out in April from Advanced Academic Programs for the Master's Degree ceremony, and in early May from the Registrar for the University-wide ceremony.

The Johns Hopkins University confers degrees and awards diplomas once a year to all students who have completed requirements during the preceding spring, fall, or summer semesters.
