The health sciences major is transitioning out of the College of Arts and Sciences’ School of Information to the College of Public Health. Please contact your academic advisor to see which college you are officially graduating from so you register to attend correctly.

As the university continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, the health and safety of our students and guests, faculty and staff remain our top priority. No final decisions have been made as to any changes that may be implemented for our ceremonies. Updates and important information will be communicated to students as they become available. We encourage those who plan on attending to be flexible in their plans should any changes occur.
