I’m eligible to graduate. Do I need to sign up for commencement?
Graduates who are completing their degree requirements within one semester of Winter 2025 can participate in the ceremony. There is no separate registration process for commencement, and there is no master list that students’ names are read from at the ceremony. Graduates’ names do not need to appear in the program in order to participate in the ceremony.
