Students approved for a Fall 2023, Spring 2024, or Summer 2024 graduation may participate in May 11, 2024 Commencement. An approved application for graduation must be on record.
Student may apply for graduation in one of two ways: 1) by active Graduation Application link found in their myCarlAlbert portal account or 2) by paper Graduation Application form (download a copy below).
Online Application: Students may apply for graduation using the Graduation Application link found in their myCarlAlbert portal account. If this link is active, then the system’s degree audit has determined the student will meet requirements for graduation with their current course schedule.
Paper Application: If the online Graduation Application link is not active to a student who is eligible to graduate, then that student should complete a paper Application for Graduation and submit it to graduation@carlalbert.edu or Office of Admissions. For these students, the Registrar will typically adjust their degree audit for advanced standing coursework, course substitutions, elective credit recognitions, transfer coursework, or other exceptions not recognized by the system’s degree audit.
Once approved, the student should review the Graduation Application portal information and confirm the spelling of their name and address for diploma printing and mailing, and monitor their email for any updates. Registrar will notify student by CASC email concerning graduation/degree pre-approvals and conferral, Commencement, diploma, and any updates.
Commencement is schedule for Saturday May 11, 2024, at 11 am and 1 pm. The ceremonies will be held in the Hamilton Auditorium. Students who are eligible to participate in the Commencement (Fall 2023, Spring 2024, and Summer 2024) will be emailed (before late March) with instructions on Commencement. Students may purchase cap, gown, honor cords, and other graduation supplies from the Bookstore on the Poteau or Sallisaw campuses.
