The RSVP Portal is Open

Only students who RSVP "Attending" by the deadline will be recognized at the ceremonies. The RSVP deadline for spring 2022 is Sunday, April 10, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. You will need to RSVP "Attending" to ensure your name will be read at the ceremony and displayed during the ceremony broadcast.

The RSVP portal is located in MyUI within the Degrees/Graduation Tile by clicking on Commencement Attendance. You will receive a confirmation email to your uiowa.edu account once your RSVP has been finalized.
