Prepare for Commencement 2025 |

|
Dear Student,
Thank you for verifying your diploma name earlier this month. We previously notified you of the March 16 deadline to verify your diploma name in SIS; however, if you missed that deadline, you can still make updates until March 31. If you need to change your diploma name after March 31, we are not able to guarantee the change will appear in the commencement book. Diploma names can be updated up until the last day of classes this spring.
It's now time to let us know if you plan to participate in the all-University celebration and your department ceremony.
These details can be shared through the My Commencement page in SIS. It will open for responses on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, and needs to be completed no later than Thursday, April 24, 2025. Additional details regarding the process are available online.
To access the My Commencement page in SIS, log into SIS and select "My Graduation Status."
You will be asked to provide the following:
|
-
Alignment Area: Graduate students will align for the all-University celebration on May 18, 2025, in front of Houston Hall. Students should be at their alignment area dressed in regalia by 8:15 a.m.
-
Number of Guests: To provide a comfortable day for all, please estimate the number of family and guests who will attend the ceremonies. Tickets will be required for guests to attend commencement ceremonies; however, there is no ticket limit, and the tickets will be free of charge. Details regarding tickets will be made available in a few weeks.
-
Record Your Name: Once you select which ceremony you will attend, copy and paste the link under Event Notes to record your name as you wish it to be announced at the ceremony. If you plan to attend more than one department ceremony, make sure to record your name for both events. Please make sure to record your name before senior week begins.
