Mark your calendar for Commencement 2017: Sunday, May 21.
The registration process to attend commencement will open tomorrow, Wednesday, March 1. All graduating students must sign up online to indicate if they plan to participate in the commencement ceremonies. Commencement registration is a separate process from the SIS application for graduation. Commencement registration is used to indicate attendance at the university-wide convocation and at school-specific diploma ceremonies, and to inform the University Bookstore about cap and gown orders.
Registration is open from March 1 to April 1. You must have a valid CWRU Network ID and password to sign up. Graduating students can sign up online beginning March 1 at case.edu/commencement, or at one of the events listed below.
