Commencement is a public celebration and recognition of your accomplishments at Indiana University. Whether you are earning a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate degree, Commencement means you are joining a group of more than 760,000 IU alumni around the world.
Traditionally, IU Bloomington holds three Commencement ceremonies each year—two in May and one in December. There is no summer ceremony.
You are encouraged to participate in the 2022 Spring Commencements if you are:
Candidates completing degree requirements in the 2021 fall term will participate in the winter ceremony. There is no summer ceremony.
Printed invitations for Commencement are mailed to permanent home addresses on file with the registrar about six weeks before the ceremonies (November in the fall, and March in the spring).
At the same time, emails are sent to all students informing them that the invitations have been sent to their homes. One of the best ways to make sure you receive all mailings is to apply for graduation.
