May 15, 2023 — This weekend, more than 1,600 students — including undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students — will receive their degrees over two Commencement ceremonies as thousands celebrate with them on the Campus Green.

As a final reminder to graduates, there are several tasks that need to be completed before Commencement:

Graduates can pick up their cap and gown in Donnelly Hall Tuesday through Thursday, from 10:00am to 7:00pm, each day.
Lineup cards for the event will be handed out on Thursday from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, also in Donnelly Hall.
There is a mandatory rehearsal for undergraduates on Friday at 11:00am; rehearsal begins with a lineup at the Lowell Thomas Quad and proceeds to the Campus Green. Please remember to bring your lineup card!
