Annual Commencement (Overview)

The Graduate School's Commencement ceremony is a festive event held in May of each year at which earned and honorary degrees are awarded and degree candidates are hooded. Participation in the Graduate School Commencement Ceremony is limited to those who have been awarded degrees between July and May of the current academic year.

All participants are required to wear appropriate academic regalia (cap, gown, and hood). Information on ordering academic regalia will be available from the Graduate School early in the spring semester of each year and will be posted on the Graduate School website, under the Commencement Details section.

Detailed information concerning the Graduate School Commencement Ceremony will be posted as it is made available, usually in December, at: http://grad.georgetown.edu/pages/commencement.cfm
