Graduation

SCPS Bachelor of Arts Graduation Information

The DePaul graduation process has two components

  • Conferral: submitting your application, having your credentials verified, conferring your degree, updating your transcript to indicate the completion of your degree and issuing your diploma.
  • Commencement: the official ceremony held at the end of the Spring Quarter each year commonly referred to as "graduation." Your degree can be conferred at the end of any academic quarter and you are welcome to attend the commencement ceremony in June of that academic year. Details about the ceremony can be found on the DePaul Commencement website.
