I'm receiving information about commencement, but I'm not finished with my degree yet.

Students are often enrolled in degree programs that have embedded certificates - like an AA degree with an AGEC certificate, or a Pre-Health Careers AAS degree with a Pre-Health Certificate.  It's likely that you have completed the certificate requirements on the way to completing your degree - congrats!  Milestone achieved!

If you still have questions, please contact your Advisor or Registration & Enrollment Services.
