Ceremony Information
Graduation ceremonies are held at the end of each semester. At the end of fall and spring semesters, three ceremonies are held- one for each college – Arts and Sciences, Business and Education. Each ceremony is held in the Athens State University Carter Physical Education Center Gymnasium.

At the end of the summer semester, one ceremony is held on the lawn of Founders Hall, weather permitting.

Detailed ceremony information will be mailed to all students who applied for graduation approximately 1 to 1 ½ months before the ceremony.

Diplomas
All graduates will receive a diploma for the degree earned. A student's major or minor does not appear on the diploma, but is listed on the student's academic transcript.

Second Degree Restriction
Students may not receive more than one degree in a designated graduation period. A minimum of thirty-three semester hours at Athens State University is required beyond the conferral date of the first degree.
