Military Installation Graduation Recognition Ceremonies
As an active-duty service member or veteran, you may have an opportunity to participate in a military installation graduation ceremony recognition program. Follow these steps to attend one of these memorable events.
1. Contact your local military installation’s education center to confirm that they host a graduation recognition ceremony. Make note of the ceremony date. Please e-mail the University's Military Alliance Manager, Gene Larue, at [email protected] with information about the ceremony. He will follow-up with the education office to see how the University may be able to support the event.
2. If the military installation hosts a ceremony and you want to attend, order your University of Arizona Global Campus cap and gown from the University of Arizona Global Campus' authorized vendor. On the registration page, select “not attending” for the University of Arizona Global Campus Ceremony.
3. If your undergraduate cumulative GPA is 3.5 or above or you belong to any honor societies, email [email protected] to request the applicable honors regalia. Please include your studentID and a mailing address. Any applicable honors regalia will be sent to you in 7-10 days.
NOTE: Master’s students do not qualify for Latin University academic honors. The Master’s gown and hood, which are different from undergraduates, indicate the academic distinction as a Master’s level graduate.
