Plans for Commencement start well in advance, and so should your plans to attend. Get the dates of ceremonies for the next few years so you’ll be ready when your graduation day comes—and it will be here before you know it! And don’t forget to share with family and friends so they can make plans to join the celebration.
You can still join the celebration even if you can’t make it to Commencement in person! Look for the live stream link in the top corner of the website on the day of the ceremony so you can watch from anywhere.
Indiana University has many timeless traditions, but perhaps the most honored are the ones that take place as part of Commencement, from the regal procession of faculty and students to the distinguished speakers at the ceremony. But some of these traditions are just for fun!
