If any times listed then the student expected to be present then; the times will appear in Pacific Time, and so students in other time zones should take the difference into account.

Any student graduating in a semester in which the GWE is not offered because of the COVID-19 pandemic is exempt from the GWAR. This means that as of now, any student that is graduating Fall 2020, Spring 2021, or Summer 2021 will not be required to satisfy the GWAR in order to graduate.
