After receiving the final list of graduates from the Registrar’s Office, the Office of News and Media Relations routes that list through the Merit student achievement platform for publication of all graduates on MTSU’s Merit page and creation of news releases that are distributed to the hometown media for U.S.-based students. Graduates will also be notified via email when their commencement achievement is posted to Merit, and the achievement can then be shared by graduates to their social media accounts as they choose.

Merit is available to all enrolled MTSU students and is still accessible by students after graduation to share post-graduation achievements. Learn more about Merit.
