Name and Address Confirmation

In preparation for the May 2026 ceremonies, candidates are asked to login to Self-Service and review their user profile to update/adjust their personal identity information for diploma printing specific to their name and their home/permanent address.

Visitation Letters for International Guests

We are mindful that many of our candidates will be inviting their family to join them for the Commencement ceremonies. The letter provided is a standard template and cannot be altered. The letter provided does not ensure entry to the United States or responsibility.

May 2026 candidates can begin requesting visitation letters in Fall 2025.

Academic Ceremonies

Some academic schools will be hosting academic ceremonies that include awards, recognitions, pinning and/or white coats leading up to Commencement Day. The Commencement Team does not plan the academic ceremonies. Academic ceremony questions can be directed to academic deans/directors.
