How do I apply for my diploma and graduation?
At UMGC, graduation and commencement are different.
- Commencement: Includes UMGC’s in-person and online celebrations.
- Graduation: Refers to applying for your diploma, the official process that confirms you’ve earned your degree. (Applying for your diploma and applying for graduation are the same.)
