Class of '24 Graduation Checklist

2024 grads, make sure you complete all the steps below to receive your degree  
and participate in the commencement ceremony.

Do this as soon as possible.

#1. Apply for your degree.

Applying for your degree is different than opting in to participate in commencement. (See #2 below for more information.) Anyone who graduates during 2024 can participate in this year’s ceremony, but make sure to signify the term you are actually graduating (winter, spring, summer, or fall) in your degree application.

  • Graduate students should apply for their degree using GradWeb by April 12
  • Undergraduates must apply for a Spring 2024 degree using DuckWeb by April 28.

If you miss your application date, please speak to an advisor immediately.

Do these in May.

 

#2. The RSVP for the College of Design Ceremony will open soon.

Make sure your name is in our program the way you want it to appear when the file is available to review. This is required in addition to #1 above. 

When this becomes available, you can RSVP here or via an email that will be sent out from the College of Design team.


#3. Purchase or rent your regalia (cap, gown, tassel, stole, cords). Deadline: June 5

The Duck Store is your one-stop shop for all commencement gear. Undergrads can purchase caps and gowns any time before Commencement, but beware that they may run out of your size if you wait too long. 

PhD tams and gowns are custom-made, so you must order them before the deadline.

Grad Packages

Do this on Graduation Day, June 16

#4. Check in at Matthew Knight Arena

More information on this to come.
