Graduation Ceremony Requirements
Per the ATSU Catalog, all ASHS/ASDOH graduates, residential and distance, are required to attend one of the annual ATSU commencement ceremonies held in Mesa, Arizona. It is also understood that on occasion significant personal and/or family matters may make attendance difficult.
If you cannot attend the commencement ceremony most closely following completion of your program, you must attend the next ceremony to fulfill your graduation requirements.
If you need to defer walking in your scheduled commencement ceremony you must submit a deferment request to your Department Chair. You will be notified via your ATSU e-mail address if the deferment is approved or denied.
All students of the Arizona School of Health Sciences and the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health must complete a Petition to Graduate in order to begin the process of degree audits and ordering diplomas.
In order to ensure that your name is printed in the graduation program, you must submit the Petition to Graduate at least three weeks before the date of the graduation ceremony.
The Petition to Graduate form is online at: http://www.atsu.edu/registrar/forms.htm
Diplomas will be ordered after all grades are received at the end of an academic quarter/semester. It will take approximately 10-12 weeks after you graduate to receive your diploma.
In order to ensure that your diploma is sent to the correct address, we ask that you sign in to the CampusVue Student Portal to assign a "diploma address".
