Apply to Graduate
Apply to graduate by Oct. 11, 2024 for the Fall 2024 semester to ensure your name is included in the commencement program.
Important note: if you have a FERPA restriction on your student account, your name will not print in the commencement program. Restrictions must be removed by Oct. 11 for your name to print and can be checked in SIS in the “My Profile” tile.
Register to Participate
Pre-registration for ceremony participation closed on December 6 at noon; however, students are still welcome to participate in their ceremony! Students will simply need to fill out a blank name card upon their arrival on the day of their ceremony. Graduates that pre-registered will have a printed name card.
Commencement Programs
Graduates are listed in the program of the semester in which they receive their diploma, regardless of when they participate in a ceremony.

You may submit a text-only message or include a photo. The links to submit your message can be found in the MSU Today Fall 2024 Commencement article.
