[Oacrao-l] Conferral dates

[Amy Dunn]

For NSU, we use the day after the term ends for Fall and Spring. For summer
conferral, we use the last day of classes. I am not sure the rationale
behind those dates if there is any, but that's how it was established when
I came in 3 years ago.
Hope that helps!
