Commencement

All graduates must RSVP to participate in the ceremony. The RSVP period for Fall 2025 will open in October.

Students will register through Tassel to complete their RSVP and request their guest tickets. 

The Commencement Office is unable to confirm individual RSVPs. Please check your email for a confirmation message from Tassel when you completed your RSVP. 

Early and late walks are granted on a case-by-case basis as space allows. Students must apply by the current semester's withdrawal deadline. Applications for Fall 2025 will open the week of Sept. 2.  Applications for the Spring 2026 ceremony will open in late January. 

Late Walk Application | Early Walk Application

Beginning in Fall 2026, students will no longer be able to request to walk one semester early. Late walks will be reserved for unforeseen hardship situations that prevent the graduate from attending the ceremony.  View the policy.
