Welcome, MIT faculty and lecturers!

MIT’s 2024 Commencement celebrations will span three days, May 29–31, to reduce conflicts for graduating students and faculty who wish to participate in more than one ceremony.

  • The OneMIT Ceremony in Killian Court for all graduates will take place on Thursday, May 30 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. and will include the Academic Procession, speeches, and turning of the Brass Rat.
  • The Undergraduate Ceremony, with the diploma presentation, will take place in Killian Court on Friday, May 31 from 10 a.m. to noon.
  • Programs, Schools, and the College will hold Advanced Degree Ceremonies beginning on the afternoon of May 29 and concluding on May 31.  

See the schedule page for the full Commencement schedule.
