This email is for all 2020-2021 Graduates!!!!!

Graduation applications for students graduating in 2020-2021 were due November 29, 2020. Due to the challenges of COVID, we are working on plans for a safe graduation ceremony and need exact numbers of students wanting to participate. Students that have NOT submitted a Graduation Degree Application by next Friday, January 29, will be NOT be eligible to participate in the ceremony in May.

If you will be graduating in the spring or summer and have not applied for graduation, you must do so by going to the following link: Graduation Degree Application which is located on eSpire (eForms>Student Forms>Registrar>Degree Application) no later than Friday, Jan 29, 2021. This form is required whether or not you plan to participate in the May commencement ceremony. If you want to participate in the ceremony, you must indicate so on your graduation application.

Students who previously indicated they were not going to participate but now desire to do so can notify our office but must do so by the January 29, 2021, deadline. Emails can be sent to registrar@stmary.edu

Dear Students and Faculty,

Engage will receive a scheduled update on December 30 between 6-7 a.m. CST. If you access Engage during the update, you will be directed to the maintenance page. Access will be restored when the update is complete.

With this update, we are excited to introduce Turnitin SimCheck, the successor to our current plagiarism detection service, VeriCite. SimCheck has a similar workflow to VeriCite while adding several usability improvements. For a smooth transition, current VeriCite settings and past student submissions will be migrated directly to SimCheck.

To learn more about Turnitin SimCheck or the transition from VeriCite, please see our support resources:

The Engage Team
