Duluth updates

UMD Commencement
On Saturday, May 6, 2017 a total of 1,861 undergraduates, 189 graduate students, and 8 doctoral students participated in commencement at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC). UMD’s Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Fernando Delgado was the ceremony speaker. For the first time students received Military Honor Cords following this protocol: “If you are graduating and are an honorably discharged US veteran, are currently serving in the US military (active duty, National Guard, or Reserves), or will be commissioned upon graduation, you are authorized to wear a Military Honor Cord.”

On-time grades
UMD faculty did a great job of grading. Even with an increase in the total number of grades due over spring 2016, UMD faculty increased their percentage of final grades in by the due date by 1.6% for undergraduate grades and 2.9% for graduate grades. Over 96% of the 43,546 grades were received on time.
