Commencement will be held Saturday, June 12th in BREN EVENTS CENTER!
There are two ceremonies 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Go to http://www.commencement.uci.edu/
for more information.
NOTE: Only those graduating seniors from Fall 2009 to Summer 2010 may
participate in the June ceremony.
All students who plan to graduate during the 2009-2010 academic year MUST
file a graduation application by the below deadlines. Late applications
will not be accepted.
- Fall 2009 Quarter Deadline December 4, 2009
- Winter 2010 Quarter Deadline February 5, 2010
- Spring 2010 Quarter Deadline February 5, 2010
- Summer 2010 Deadline March 12, 2010
Any LATE applications will be moved to the next available
quarter. NO exceptions will be made or considered for late application
submissions.
To ensure that your name gets printed in the 2010 Commencement Program, you
must file your application no later than March 12, 2010. Summer graduates
will be able to participate in the Commencement ceremony as well as have their
names listed in the Commencement Program provided the application is turned in
by March 12, 2010.
Although the dates above will allow you to graduate on time, we strongly
urge you to plan ahead and file for graduation in advance as well as schedule
an appointment for an official graduation check. The application to
graduate can be completed on-line at http://www.reg.uci.edu/gradapp/.
Remember that credit for the last 36 of 45 units of work immediately
preceding graduation must be earned in residence at the UCI campus. If
you indicate a minor or a specialization and you decide not to complete it, you
need to inform our office. If you have not completed the required courses
for the minor or specialization by the graduation date and have not informed
our office, we will deny your application and you will have to reapply for a
later date. It is also your responsibility to make sure we have received
all transcripts from other colleges and universities and that all corrections
to your academic record have been processed by the deadlines. Failure to
do so will result in your application being denied. Retroactive degrees will
not be awarded.
Graduating with Honors
Of the graduating seniors, no more than 12 percent will receive Latin
honors:
- 1 percent summa cum laude
- 3 percent magna cum laude
- 8 percent cum laude
The selection for these awards is based on winter quarter rank-ordered grade
point averages. To be eligible for honors at graduation, you must file an
application to graduate by February 5, 2010. You must be able to verify
completion of all course work by the end of spring 2010 and be officially
declared as a School of Social Sciences major. Seventy-two (72) quarter
units in residence at a UC campus must be completed by the end of winter
quarter 2010. In addition, any corrections to your academic record must
be processed by the Registrar's Office by March 19, 2010.
For those graduating at the end of Spring Quarter 2010, a
re-calculation of gpa will be done to account for Spring Quarter grades.
The re-calculation may result in your Latin honors distinction being moved
or eliminated.
NOTE: Summer 2010 graduates are not eligible for honors for the
2009-2010 academic year but will be considered for the 2010-2011 year.
No exceptions!
A list of those receiving Latin honors as well as other honors will be
posted outside of the Undergraduate Counseling Office around late May.
