- Complete a degree application in the Registrar’s Office and be a summer graduate or pending for fall graduation.
- Be in good academic and disciplinary standing.

More details
Students who are invited to submit an application will receive detailed information about the selection process. Applicants will fill out a form and submit a speech draft.
