Commencement 2008

LIVE BROADCAST: You may view a live broadcast of Mountain State University’s commencement ceremony from http://commencement.mountainstate.edu.

The commencement ceremony is a separate process from the degree application process.  Participation in the commencement ceremony does not guarantee that a student has graduated; it also is not a requirement to graduate.  However, this ceremony is traditionally a rite of passage which family and friends anticipate and remember as a formal marker in a graduate’s life.   

Commencement is open to students who anticipate completing all of their program requirements within the 2007-2008 Academic Year AND who have submitted their Application for Degree by February 15, 2008. Those students should have received information, including a Commencement Participation Form, beginning the first week of March 2008.

MSU’s Commencement Ceremony for the Academic Year 2007-2008 will be held on Saturday, May 10, 2008 in Beckley, West Virginia.
