Let's hear from Herff Jones!

Our representative, Patrick Cavazos, guides you through ordering some IU Commencement essentials.

Ordering for Commencement apparel is now closed. For questions concerning your apparel, or if you have not ordered yet, email Patrick Cavazos with Herff Jones at pacavazos@comcast.net.

Thanks, Patrick! Now, let's hear from the IU Alumni Association on becoming a member and joining IU Proud.

Last, but certainly not least, let's take a look at some important reminders and review the graduation checklist to ensure that you are ready for graduation and the Commencement ceremony.

The Commencement team has a few reminders for you:

The virtual Commencement ceremony will take place on Saturday, December 19, 5 p.m. EST, and is open to anyone who has earned or will have earned an IU Bloomington degree in any month of the 2020 calendar year.
We are hopeful that, within the context of public health guidance at that time, we will be able to host our 2020 graduates and their guests in-person and recognize you at the May 2021 Commencement.
Check out the graduation checklist for more information on all the big and small details leading up to Commencement so you don’t miss a thing!
