Diploma Ceremonies
Each year during Commencement weekend, schools, colleges and departments host diploma ceremonies to honor their students and distribute diplomas.
A student's department or college is determined by their major. Dual degree students who are receiving two diplomas may participate in both ceremonies, if scheduling permits.
Diploma ceremony times and locations are subject to change. Check back often for the most up-to-date information!
Graduating students were asked to register for commencement weekend by Friday, March 25. If you would like to participate in your diploma ceremony but have not yet registered, contact your department coordinator listed below.
