Take care of these well before graduation.<\/li><li>If you are taking a correspondence course to fulfill your last requirements: Let the instructor know, that you plan to graduate at the end of the semester.<\/li><li>Make sure all work is completed 4 weeks prior to Commencement Day.<\/li><li>Your graduation will depend on the early arrival of your grade at the Registrar\u2019s Office.<\/li><li>Check your degree candidacy. Is it correct?<\/li><li>Your academic department will determine whether you have met all major requirements (Undergraduate students only).<\/li><li>A student\u2019s name will not appear in the Commencement Program whose application for graduation does not reach the Office of the Registrar by the priority deadline.<\/li><li>If you would like to request a duplicate diploma, there will be a fee of $75 made to Hampton University.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4442\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4442\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Graduation FAQ's<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4442\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4442\"><ol start=\"1\" data-start=\"696\" data-end=\"799\"><li><div role=\"presentation\"><b data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Do local HU Online students have to ride the bus?<\/b><\/div><ol start=\"1\" data-editing-info=\"{&quot;applyListStyleFromLevel&quot;:true}\"><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\">All participants in this ceremony are strongly encouraged to ride the bus.<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/li><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\"><b>Do students who live off campus need to ride the bus?<\/b><\/div><ol start=\"1\" data-editing-info=\"{&quot;applyListStyleFromLevel&quot;:true}\"><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\">All participants in this ceremony are strongly encouraged to ride the bus.<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/li><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\"><b>If you have not purchased cap and gown yet, how do we and when is the deadline to do so?<\/b><\/div><ol start=\"1\" data-editing-info=\"{&quot;applyListStyleFromLevel&quot;:true}\"><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\">I referred students to the Herff-Jones website and the bookstore.\u00a0 Reminded them about the celebration with the company in March when they will be on site<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/li><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\"><b>Why cant we wear the kente stole that came with our cap and gown?<\/b><\/div><ol start=\"1\" data-editing-info=\"{&quot;applyListStyleFromLevel&quot;:true}\"><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\">\u00a0Anyone failing to meet these guidelines (carrying flowers or wearing sorority or fraternity Kente cloth stoles, attachments, corsages, ribbons, scarves, etc. with his or her academic attire) will be escorted from the procession.\u00a0<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/li><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\"><b>\u00a0Do babies need tickets?<\/b><\/div><ol start=\"1\" data-editing-info=\"{&quot;applyListStyleFromLevel&quot;:true}\"><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\">If a child needs a seat, they need a ticket<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/li><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\"><b data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Can we not wear cords either?<\/b><\/div><ol start=\"1\" data-editing-info=\"{&quot;applyListStyleFromLevel&quot;:true}\"><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\">You may wear academic and honor cords<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/li><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\"><b data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">\u00a0Are additional ticket available for purchase?<\/b><\/div><ol start=\"1\" data-editing-info=\"{&quot;applyListStyleFromLevel&quot;:true}\"><li><div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\">Extra graduation tickets are not sold, they are requested.\u00a0 Please make your request to the Office of Ceremonials to sign the sign up sheet for extra tickets.
