The Office of the Registrar assists and supports students, alumni, faculty, and staff in the registration of students, recording and maintaining class grades for official university records, maintaining and providing official transcripts, and reviewing and awarding degrees to graduates.


We look forward to assisting you to reach your academic goals.

Students new to Carey and fully admitted will receive an email with a student email and login credentials. The notice will be sent to the email address you used to apply to the university. You will use this information to access the Indigo Student Portal and register for classes.

William Carey University conducts a Commencement Ceremony in May and August each year. Please use the information below to prepare for your graduation.

Students who have cleared their degree requirements and financial accounts will receive their diplomas immediately following the ceremony.  The ‘Graduate in Absentia Form’ via the student portal must be completed for those students who choose not to participate in the graduation ceremony.  Doctoral students must participate to be hooded.

Caps and gowns should be purchased in the bookstore with separate fees to apply.

Students who complete their degrees in the Fall or Winter Terms may participate in the May or August Commencement Ceremonies to receive their diplomas. Completion statements can be placed on their Official transcripts until their degrees are conferred at the ceremony.
