Application for Graduation

All prospective graduates are required to submit an Application for Graduation and Diploma through the Office of the Registrar. Please note that this is separate from the registration process to attend the May 2025 Commencement ceremony and request guest tickets.

When submitting your application, you’ll confirm your name and mailing address for your diploma, your graduation date, and program details, among other important information. After your application is submitted, the Office of the Registrar will complete a final review and verify your academic records.

The application for graduation deadline has passed for December 2024 graduation candidates.

All May 2025 graduation candidates must submit their application by Tuesday, March 18, 2025.

Commencement Tickets

Graduate Tickets: After your Tassel registration and guest ticket request is submitted, you will receive your Stage Pass, which you will need to ensure your name is properly read and displayed as you cross the stage at your school ceremony. The Stage Pass is also the graduate’s ticket which will be scanned at the Main Entrance and Graduate Check-In. To speed up your entry and avoid any delays, please screenshot or print your Stage Pass, or save it to your mobile wallet.

After you enter, stop by the Check-In tables to verify your Stage Pass. A screenshot will make this process quicker.

Guest Tickets: You will be able to send your guests their tickets through Tassel. All guests must present a ticket at the Main Gate for entry to the Tennis Center. To speed up your entry and avoid any delays, screenshot or print your guest tickets. Guest tickets cannot be saved to a mobile wallet.
