Welcome, MIT faculty and lecturers!

The Commencement 2026 ceremonies are scheduled for May 27–29. Information will continue to populate this site as details for the 2026 festivities are confirmed.


The Commencement ceremonies are celebratory events honoring significant academic achievement. Our primary concerns are the safety of our community and the ability of all to enjoy the festivities at graduation time. MIT recognizes that while creative expression is core to the Institute’s mission, essential Institute activities may not be disrupted and conduct that interferes with Commencement will not be tolerated.
