RSVP for Fall 2016 Graduation Ceremonies

If you are graduating this Fall and plan to attend one or both of the graduation ceremonies, you will need to RSVP. Note that tickets are not required for either ceremony.

University Ceremony

The university-wide commencement ceremony will be held at 9am, Friday, Dec 16th in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum.

Students wishing to participate in University Commencement should RSVP here. You will not be individually recognized at this ceremony.

Please note that this form is only for reserving a seat at the commencement ceremony and is not the application for graduation. For information on applying for graduation, please see last week’s post in the Pirate’s Compass.

College of Business Ceremony

The Graduate Recognition Ceremony for College of Business Undergraduate & Graduate Students will be Friday, Dec 18th at 8pm in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum

Students wishing to participate in University Commencement should RSVP here. This is the ceremony where you will be individually recognized and hooded on stage.

Cap and Gown Orders

Dowdy Students Stores in the Wright Building is East Carolina University’s official source for graduation regalia, merchandise, and apparel.

Grad Expo for Info

A Graduation Expo is held each semester for upcoming graduates. This is the first opportunity for seniors and graduate students to pick up their cap and gown. Tables have information and special offers for graduates at both locations. All students graduating should plan to attend if possible. Expos are held in early October for December graduates, and February for May graduates.

Order Form

All students participating in one or both ceremonies MUST wear a cap, gown and hood.

Download and complete the order form or you may complete one in person at the store. Forms should be returned to Dowdy Student Stores in the Wright Building.

The order form will ask you what tassel color you need; business degrees have a tassel color of DRAB.

Costs

There is no charge for caps or gowns as this cost was built into the graduation fee. You will only need to pay for the hood (about $30) if participating in the ceremony.

Pick Up

You may pick up your cap and gown at Dowdy Student Stores in the Wright Building any time during business hours. Please do so as soon as possible to ensure a proper size. If you are out of town, you can have your cap, gown, and hood mailed to you for an additional fee (about $7).
