Fall semester graduation might be not be until December, but if students plan on graduating then, the time to start preparing is now.
Applications to graduate can be picked up in the Registrar Office in Herod Hall. The Registrar Office will let students know if there is anything else a student needs to qualify for graduation. It is advised to turn in the application sooner, rather than later, to be able to fix anything wrong with the application. Once that is completed and turned back in, there is a fee of $25 to be paid to the Business Office. These are due by Oct. 1.
Students can purchase a cap and gown from the NWOSU Bookstore on campus. Students need to make sure they know their height when purchasing. All gowns will hit mid-calf. For a Bachelors Degree, a cap is $7, a gown is $24, the tassel is $6 and the bundled price is $37 before tax. For a Masters Degree, a gown is $27, a cap is $7, a tassel is $6, a hood is $29 and the bundled price is $69 before tax. The bookstore will have these items available for purchase starting in the middle of November.
If students have a plain black gown from high school, they can wear that instead of buying a new one. Any special cords or collars will need to be purchased separately as the bookstore will not have those available.
For students who have family that will be unable to attend the graduation ceremony, there will be a live internet streaming of the graduation that can be found online. z. His office is located in Jesse Dunn, 321. Students can email him at ejschmaltz@nwosu.edu.
