Indiana Wesleyan University – Christian University and Christian College
 

  • COMMENCEMENT

    Saturday, August 11, 2012
    Chapel/Auditorium
    IWU Marion Campus

    Graduation is a high point in the experience of Indiana Wesleyan University students, their families, and their friends. People will gather from far and wide to celebrate as thousands of IWU graduates receive their diplomas. Commencement is a time to recognize the academic achievement and commitment of each student who is completing his or her college journey. The beautiful new Chapel-Auditorium on the traditional campus in Marion, Indiana, provides the setting for IWU graduation.

    There will be two Commencement ceremonies this August:

    • 10:00 a.m. – Degrees TBA
    • 2:00 p.m. – Degrees TBA

    Graduation honors are given to baccalaureate students at Commencement to acknowledge outstanding grade point averages (GPA) earned:

    • GPA of 3.5 or higher – “cum laude” (with honors)
    • GPA of 3.7 or higher – “magna cum laude” (with high honors)
    • GPA of 3.9 or higher – “summa cum laude” (with highest honors)

    Students who qualify for honors will receive honor cords, be noted in the commencement program, and be recognized during the ceremony.

    Tickets and Seating

    Because space is limited, tickets are required for entrance to the Chapel-Auditorium. The number of tickets issued to each student will be determined as soon as all graduation applications have been received. Tickets will be mailed approximately three weeks prior to the ceremony. For APS students, tickets will be mailed only to those who have indicated that they are attending the ceremony. Students having extra tickets may give them to other students or return them to the Office of Student Services.

    Unlimited overflow theater-style seating with closed-circuit television is available in the Auditorium of the Phillippe Performing Arts Center (no tickets required). If you or anyone in your party requires special seating, please know that our buildings are accessible with ample provision for wheelchairs.
