Diplomas will be mailed after all grades are finalized and certified by the WVU Office of the Registrar. If you are graduating in August or December 2017, you must obtain written permission from your Dean to walk in the May 2017 commencement ceremony. The names of August and December graduates will NOT appear in the May program. WVU has contracted with GradImages to provide quality graduation photos of each student.
Summer in Salt Lake can be hot in the valley, with temperatures frequently reaching 100Â°F. Nearby canyons and mountains provide a refreshing break from the heat (mountain areas and canyons can be as much as 20Â° cooler) with perfect opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, or a picnic.
The climate of Salt Lake City varies widely. Lying in the Salt Lake Valley, the city is surrounded by mountains and the Great Salt Lake. The city has four distinct seasons: a cold, snowy winter; a hot, dry summer; and two relatively wet transition periods. The climate of the Salt Lake City area is generally subhumid, not semi-arid as often claimed.
