January Graduation
As a January 2027 degree candidate, you are eligible to participate in the May 2027 Commencement exercises, as long as you have not previously participated for the same degree. Please note: there is no January University Commencement Ceremony. You will be sent information in late February or early March for May Commencement Weekend (e.g. cap and gown rentals, commencement RSVP's and guest mobile tickets, on-campus accommodations, etc.). This information will be sent to your Notre Dame email address, which will remain active until 60 days after the May 2027 graduation.
Diplomas will not be automatically sent to your home address. Later this semester we will email you and ask you to provide your diploma mailing address. Diplomas will be mailed to the address you provide to us or you may pick up your diploma in the Office of the Registrar, 300 Grace Hall, beginning at noon on Friday, February 5. Please remember to bring a valid Photo I.D. Again, please wait closer to graduation for an email from our office.
