Commencement

Dear seniors,

Here are the key things you need to know in order to graduate and participate in Reed's Commencement ceremony.

Intent to Graduate Form

Action required! 

This required form lets the college know if you plan to finish your program in the spring and collects important information, like ordering your cap and gown and how you would like your name spelled on your diploma. 

Please complete this form even if you do not plan to finish your program in fall 2025 or spring 2026.

Cap and Gown

Action required!

To request your cap and gown, share your robe information on the Intent to Graduate form. The college will provide a cap and gown at no cost to you. 

Guests
