Conferral of Degrees

The President of St. John's University, Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M. and the Provost, Dr. Julia A. Upton, RSM, will congratulate graduates as their names are read and graduates cross the stage. At this time, you will receive only your "diploma case".

The Rome campus only holds one Commencement ceremony a year, in June.

"Conferral" means that the Registrar's office posts a notation of the award of a degree in our academic record-keeping system and this notation appears on the transcripts. Students whose degrees are conferred in January are invited to attend the June commencement ceremony. If you are one of these candidates, please contact your Academic Dean's office.  

Certificates of Excellence
All academic honors will be tentative, pending receipt of final grades and the calculations of final GPAs.

Note
No diplomas are issued until a student completes all degree requirements. No diplomas will be issued to anyone who has an outstanding balance on his/her student account.
No transcripts will be issued until a student has paid all bills.
