"So, Are You Really Graduating?”

Congratulations on this momentous occasion! The College of Natural Resources will host several brown bag workshops from 12-1pm in the CNR Student Resource Center, 260 Mulford Hall, during Spring Semester.

The purpose of these events will be to review graduation requirements, DARS reports, Campus/College/University & major requirements for graduating, including commencement festivities.

Commencement and Graduation are two entirely separate events. Commencement is a ceremony, a celebration for you and your family of the completion (or near completion!) of your college years. Participating in Commencement does not mean that you have graduated. Graduation is the process by which you receive a Bachelor's degree at Berkeley. See Graduating for more information.
