The College of Arts & Sciences will hold its Recognition Ceremony for undergraduate students in historic Francis Olympic Field on Sunday, May 12, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. At this ceremony, undergraduate students will be called individually by name to process across the stage.

Graduate Students
The Office of Graduate Studies will hold the Arts & Sciences Hooding and Recognition Ceremony on Friday, May 10, 2024, at 3 p.m. in Graham Chapel. The Hooding & Recognition Ceremony recognizes the accomplishments of those who have completed a PhD or master’s degree in departments and programs in Arts & Sciences. Students will be recognized and cross the stage individually.
Please note that the Roy and Diana Vagelos Division of Biology and Biomedical Science (DBBS) will have a separate Hooding and Recognition ceremony on Friday, May 10 at 9:30 a.m. at the 560 Music Center. All graduating DBBS students should attend the DBBS Hooding ceremony, graduate students from all other A&S departments and programs should register and attend the hooding ceremony in Graham Chapel.
Alternate Viewing Options
Both ceremonies will be streamed live to additional locations on campus, and the ceremonies may also be viewed from off campus, using the embedded livestream links below.
For the undergraduate ceremony, we anticipate having more than enough seating on Francis Field for all families and guests, however depending on the weather some guests may find the indoor viewing location to be more comfortable. Remote viewing of the undergraduate ceremony will also be available in Seigle Hall, Room L006 and Simon Hall, Room 1.
For the graduate cermony and due to space limitations in Graham Chapel, we are asking each graduate student to limit the amount of in-person guests at the ceremony to four (4) per graduate. We will also livestream the ceremony in Wrighton Hall, Room 300, so if you have a large group of people planning to attend the ceremony we ask that you plan to have guests over the limit plan to watch from the livestream location. All guests are welcome to attend the reception for graduate students and their guests following the ceremony. The graduating student will be asked to indicate how many guests they expect to have attend the ceremony during the registration process.
