Bauer Graduate & Professional Programs Commencement

Commencement is the graduation ceremony to publicly acknowledge the awarding of the degree. The UH Bauer College of Business has two commencement ceremonies for graduating bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students:

• one at the end of the Fall semester
• one at the end of the Spring semester

Students graduating in the Summer may participate in the Spring ceremony prior to their actual graduation, or the Fall ceremony following their summer completion. Please fill out the Graduate Commencement Form for the Graduate Commencement.The commencement ceremony usually lasts about two hours.

Although a student participates in Commencement, actual graduation is contingent upon successful completion of all graduate coursework and other degree requirements by the end of the semester for which the student has filed.
