(NOT the semester you plan on walking at commencement) EXAMPLE: If you would like to walk in the April (Winter 2019) commencement ceremony, BUT plan to finish your degree requirements in Spring/Summer 2019 (i.e., you still have a spring/summer class to complete), you need to select Spring/Summer as the term of graduation, NOT Winter All Spring/Summer graduates are invited to Winter Commencement.
