Attending the Commencement on May 10?
Many of our classmates are graduating this semester since this is your last semester. Do you plan to attend the graduation ceremony? NAU does a great job on the graduation. I always say that there are a few special moments in our life. I think the graduation for our master degree is one of those.
<b>Can I attend the commencement if I plan to graduate in summer?</b>
Yes, you still can attend the spring commencement. NAU doesn't host a summer commencement.
<b>What can I expect at the commencement?</b>
You will have a chance to walk across the stage and your name will be called unless NAU does differently this year. Being with NAU for more than 15 years, NAU always call graduate/master students' names.
<b>
Graduation Booklet</b>
If you apply for your graduation application before the deadline, your name should be listed in the commencement booklet. Be sure to get one. If you couldn't attend the commencement, you can ask our classmates to get a copy for you.
<b>Can I attend the commencement, if I did not apply for the graduation before the deadline?</b>
Yes, applying before the deadline is related whether your name will be listed in the commencement booklet only. You still can attend the commencement, walk across the stage etc.
<b>How many ETC students generally attend the commencement?</b>
Generally, we somewhere between 8-15 ETC graduates attend the commencement. We have more students graduate in spring semester.
If you plan to attend the graduation, you can coordinate with other ETC students. ETC creates a spreadsheet for you to collaborate your travel plans and to get together etc.

College of Education hosts a reception for all graduates, their family & friend, staff, and faculties. This is a good time to meet with our classmates, staff, and faculties during the commencement, it is very hard to meet others since you may not sit next to another ETC graduates. If you like to meet ETC faculties, the best time is at COE Graduation Reception. You should receive the invitation from the college. It is before the graduation in the morning at COE building: Eastburn Education Building - (Bldg #027) Do look for ETC graduates and sit together.
Many of our classmates work together in many courses. This is the best time to meet them in person. This is a good time to meet ETC faculties as well. So far I know Drs. Shadow Armfield, Michael Blocher, Laura Sujo-Montes, and me plan to attend the graduation ceremony.
