Commencement

Convocations

Each College and School will host a Convocation Ceremony for those students who will complete their degree requirements by May 2012 and for those whose degrees were conferred in August 2011 and January 2012. While the University Commencement on May 18 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.

Unlike the May 18 Commencement exercises, seating is limited and tickets are required for the Convocations.

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

Tickets

Seating for the Convocation ceremonies is limited and tickets are required for the Convocations. Ticket reservation system will open on April 16, 2012. Tickets can be obtained through your College or School's Convocation site.
