Roles of Deans of Faculty, Heads of Department, and Matriculating Students

Deans of Faculty and Heads of Department are expected to adapt their plans to the new Matriculation Ceremony date and ensure that all necessary arrangements are in place. Matriculating students should adjust their schedules accordingly, informing their families and friends about the new date for the ceremony.
