  3. Students will receive email notification about  the Engineering Commencement Ceremony or students can visit the Engineering Commencement Ceremony page: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c7oRW4k75k2Gp8THQPETtYJv-ozEpOLV/view to RSVP attendance to the Clark School of Engineering Commencement Ceremony and view additional information regarding the Engineering Commencement event .
  4. Students can visit the University Commencement page: https://commencement.umd.edu/ for additional information about participating in the campus-wide commencement ceremony.

Steps to follow when requesting a Commissioning Letter:

  • If a student needs a letter to confirm that an engineering degree will be awarded before final grades are submitted in order to participate in a commissioning ceremony, the student should inform every instructor of this situation at the beginning of the final semester.
  • At least one week prior to the commissioning ceremony, students must obtain a letter (or email) from every instructor confirming that the student will pass the course with a C- or better.  Again, a letter must be obtained from every instructor regardless of how the course satisfies degree and/or university requirements.
  • Submit the grade confirmation letters (or emails) to Mary Bell: https://eng.umd.edu/services/contact  in the Engineering Academic Services (EAS) Office: https://eng.umd.edu/services for processing.  
  • If a student has been given a Degree Clearance/Completion of Graduation Requirements form from their branch of service to complete, this form can be completed by the Engineering Academic Services Office (EAS) too as long as letters confirming passage of every course with a grade of C- or better are provided.
