Participating in commencement is not a certification of graduation, but rather a ceremony that celebrates academic achievements. Therefore, participation in any Commencement ceremony does not affirm the graduate has satisfactorily completed all degree requirements. Degrees presented at Ferris State University Commencement ceremonies are subject to the satisfactory completion of the specific requirements of the individual degree programs of the Colleges and University.

Honors requirements:

Undergraduate Degree Designation Requirements
Masters Degree Designation Requirements
Doctorate Degree Designation Requirements
