To be eligible to participate in the Morgan State University Commencement exercises, degree candidates must meet ALL degree requirements. The University Commencement Committee DOES NOT have the authority to determine degree clearance or certification. You can find out more about graduation clearance by contacting the Morgan Office of the Registrar.
