The executive board of the Elon Board of Trustees has approved a policy that spells out a range of diploma options for graduating seniors. Details...
The policy follows the board’s decision to change the name of the college to ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ, effective June 1, 2001.
¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ graduating in May will receive diplomas from Elon College. Beginning with the 2002 commencement, students will receive ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ diplomas. However, students graduating in 2002, 2003 and 2004 will have the option to request an Elon College diploma in place of the university document. Beginning with the 2005 commencement, all diplomas will be from ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ.
“We want to give current freshmen, sophomores and juniors a choice on diplomas,” says Leo M. Lambert, Elon president. “Frankly, we expect most students from these classes will choose an ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ diploma, but we also want to provide students admitted to Elon College the option of a College diploma.”
¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ may specify the type of diploma they want at the time that they make arrangements for graduation.
