The balance due on the bill must be paid in full to be clear to participate in the graduation ceremony and receive your diploma. Please make your payment as early in April as possible so there is no question as to your eligibility to take part in the graduation.

Fees incurred on campus between April 5 and graduation will be billed in early June to seniors and their authorized payers.

Senior Exit Survey
The Senior Exit Survey will be made available to the Class of 2025 and must be completed to pick up caps and gowns. Once a user clicks the “Done” button on the survey, a printable ticket with the senior’s name and ID number will be displayed for printing and a receipt will be emailed to the account submitted in the survey. The senior may print that ticket OR present the email receipt on a smart phone for regalia pickup. If the ticket does not display, will not print or is left behind, we will be able to confirm completion of the survey electronically. The survey will likely take about 30 minutes to complete and includes a section designed by your academic department specifically assessing your major. This will be your primary opportunity to share your future plans and to provide feedback on your complete Rhodes experience.
