Convocations

Each College and School will host a Convocation Ceremony for those students who will complete their degree requirements by May 2013 and for those whose degrees were conferred in August 2012 and January 2013. While the University Commencement on May 24 signifies the official conferral of degrees, the individual College and School Convocations are pre-commencement ceremonies celebrating students' achievements to be held beginning the week prior to Commencement.

Please note: Master's and Doctoral degree candidates are to attend the Graduate School Convocation.

Unlike the May 24 Commencement exercises, seating may be limited for some of the Convocations, and tickets are required for the Convocations.

All Convocations are located on campus on Sprague Field
