Register

Two steps to graduate and celebrate! 

1. Apply for graduation

Apply for graduation through the Office of the Registrar or the Graduate School. Check out these instructions on how to apply for graduation as an undergraduate student or how to apply for graduation as a graduate student.

2. Register for the ceremony

You must register separately to participate in the Commencement ceremony.

Be advised that applying to graduate and registering for Commencement are two separate steps. Applying to graduate does not automatically register you to take part in the ceremony.
