Senior Year-Related Applications and Forms:
Graduation Requirements:
In order to be considered for the baccalaureate degree from Marymount Manhattan College,
prospective graduates must apply for graduation. Students who have completed 75 credits
toward their degree must register for GRAD 000 at the time of registration for the next
semester. A short form, included in the registration packet for the appropriate semester
must be turned in at the Registrar's Office on the basis of requirements published in any
of four of the College catalogues. Under no circumstances can a student elect to be evaluated
for degree requirements under a catalogue in effect prior to his/her first term of studies.
Students who complete all requirements and are cleared by the Center for Student Services will be eligible to participate in the Commencement Ceremony. (This includes degree recipients from September of the previous calendar year and February and June of the current year). Students must complete their degree audit and baccalaureate application in the Center for Student Services. Seniors who have not yet done this, should complete this by making an appointment to meet with Ruth Falconer as soon as possible in order to receive invitations to senior events and information via email about graduation. In accordance with federal law requiring access to certain information, the College's graduation rate information is on file at the reserve desk in the library, and is, during business hours, open to inspection by the public. For further information, please contact the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.

Baccalaureate is a tradition of liberal arts colleges and celebrates the life of learning valued by members of an academic community. To symbolize the graduate's academic accomplishment and commitment to learning, candidates for degrees are presented with a bachelor's hood, the third component of academic attire, in addition to the cap and gown. The hood is lined with the college's colors, blue and white, and trimmed on the outer edge with the color representing the graduate's degree -- white for the BA degree; gold for the BS degree; and, brown for the BFA degree. An additional feature of the Baccalaureate ceremony is the awarding of honors and awards to members of the graduating class. We encourage all graduates to participate in Baccalaureate to be honored for their completion of this academic milestone.
Students will need to arrive by 1:00 pm for a Pre-Baccalaureate meeting. Doors for general admission will open at 1:30 pm. Students are allowed 2 guest tickets for this event, but can request additional tickets at Senior Packet Pick-up in early May. Students will proceed immediately from Baccalaureate to Commencement.
