We will post updates to the commencement schedule on the commencement website. All primary events are currently listed, and auxiliary receptions the weekend and day of will continue to be added.

The primary events are listed below. No tickets are required.

We encourage you to communicate with your student prior to making travel plans to ensure they are eligible to participate in the ceremony and plan to attend.

The college will provide robes for graduates. The deadline for students to place cap and gown orders is April 5. This requires no action from parents or family members; graduates are responsible for placing their robe order with the college.
