Matriculation 2012

New students become official members of the Boston University community during their Matriculation ceremony, held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, September 2, 2012 at Agganis Arena.

Matriculation Walk

Students are encouraged to walk down to Matriculation with their classmates. The entire class walks down to the ceremony together to symbolize the idea of “One BU.”

If you live in Danielsen, Myles, Shelton, Towers, 575 or on Bay State Road, please wait on the sidewalks on Bay State Road between 12:40 and 12:45 p.m. on Sunday to begin the walk.

If you are in Warren Towers, please gather in front of Marsh Chapel at 12:45 p.m. on Sunday to join the walk.

If you are in South, please gather in front of the GSU at 12:50 p.m. to join the walk.

If you are in West or 1019 Commonwealth Avenue, please gather on Buick Street at 1 p.m. to join the walk.

If you have any questions, please ask your RAs. See you on Sunday!

Parents and Matriculation

Parents are welcome to join us for Matriculation. We encourage you to be at the Arena between 1:15 and 1:30pm so that you may watch the procession of students into the ceremony.

Post-Matriculation Activities

After Matriculation, parents and students will not have an opportunity to meet up, so we encourage you to have said your goodbyes before the Matriculation Walk. Students will go directly from Matriculation to SPLASH, an activities fair on Nickerson Field. Parents will go directly from Matriculation to a reception in the Fitness and Recreation Center.
