Diploma Ceremonies
All students are invited to the Commencement Mass on Saturday evening and the University Commencement Ceremony on Sunday morning. Guest tickets are not required for the Commencement Mass and the Diploma Ceremonies.
The Sunday morning University Commencement Ceremony is a free ticketed event for guests, and is unlimited within reason.
Please note that dual degree and double major is completely different. Dual degree means that you are receiving two degrees/diplomas in two different colleges. Dual degree students may decide which college ceremony they are going to, if they occur at the same time. This is different than being a double major, where you are receiving one degree in one college, but happen to have two majors. The second major may be in your college or in another college, but you are only receiving one diploma/degree. Double majors should attend the college/major diploma ceremony of their degree and major that is in their college. The College of Arts and Letters and the Mendoza College of Business hold diploma ceremonies by college. The Colleges of Engineering and Science break out their diploma ceremonies by major.
Tassel colors are based on the degree you are earning and not major.
