The ceremony will also include presentations to the Honorary Degree Recipients and Metcalf Award winners, and the conferring of degrees. Graduates of the Class of 2025 will be seated at the All-University Commencement with their respective school/college and recognized collectively. Eligible graduates are encouraged to attend the All-University Commencement, their respective school/college convocations, and all other weekend events.

The All-University Commencement will include ASL interpretation and closed captioning. For those who cannot attend the in-person ceremony at Nickerson Field, a livestream with captions will be available. For those who can join us at Nickerson Field, tickets are required.

School & College Convocations

School/college convocations will not require tickets for family and friends wishing to attend and there will be no limit to the number of guests graduates may bring to the convocation. The convocation is the ceremony where graduates are individually recognized by having their names called as they cross the stage and handed the diploma cover.


Schedule can be subject to change to meet the needs of the ceremonies. Updates will be posted and noted if changes occur.
