Honors & Degree Ceremony

The Honors & Degree ceremony occurs each May at the end of finals week. At this ceremony we recognize students who received their associates degree or graduated from a collaborative degree program during the previous fall, winter or spring semester. We also recognize summer graduates at this time. In addition, some students who attend UW-Waukesha without completing an associate degree, but successfully transfer to another institution, will receive departmental and involvement awards.
