Congratulations, graduates!
The Commencement 2025 ceremonies are scheduled for May 28–30. Information will continue to populate this site as details for the 2025 festivities are confirmed.
You have worked hard to reach this point. As you prepare to receive your degree, please keep these things in mind:
- Review the spring degree dates and deadlines on the Registrar’s website.
- Check WebSIS to make sure that you have no outstanding grades, obligations, or financial charges that would prevent you from receiving your degree. Remember, you are responsible for closing any loops.
- RSVP for the Commencement ceremonies by visiting degreeapp.mit.edu as soon as possible. The Registrar’s Office will contact those on the degree list who are not cleared to graduate after the degree candidates meeting.
- Only students being awarded degrees in September 2024, February 2025, or May 2025 can participate in graduation.
- If you will be attending Commencement ceremonies, order your regalia or indicate that you have made alternative regalia arrangements using the MIT Atlas app or atlas-apps.mit.edu. The last day to place or cancel an order to purchase custom PhD regalia is Friday, May 2. The last day to place or cancel all other regalia orders is Friday, May 9
- Learn about MIT diplomas.
- Undergraduate and Sloan advanced degree recipients will receive a traditional paper diploma at their respective Commencement ceremony. Diplomas will be shipped to all other degree recipients. Review and update how your name will appear and mailing information for your paper diploma, if applicable.
- All graduating students can also opt-in to receive a digital diploma at no cost. Look for an email invitation from the Registrar’s Office and complete the steps before graduation to ensure that you receive yours as soon as it is available.
- Fill out the Graduating Student Survey (bachelor’s and master’s degrees) by reaching out to career-survey@mit.edu or take the MIT Doctoral Student Exit Survey.
- Graduates who are U.S. citizens – don't forget to update your voter registration information if you are moving to a new address.
