Fall 2021 RSVP Updates

The RSVP portal opened for students on October 7, 2021 and we've had nearly 600 students RSVP for fall 2021 ceremonies!

The RSVP is an Opt-In system, so students should respond “Attending” before the deadline if they plan to participate in a ceremony. If you know someone who is planning (or not planning) to participate in the fall 2021 ceremonies, we encourage them to RSVP either "Attending" or "Not Attending" by the deadline. 

The RSVP for fall 2021 commencement ceremonies will close at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, November 21, 2021. Now is the time to check in with your graduate to see if they submitted their RSVP response. We are unable to provide RSVP response information to friends and family members.

The following message was sent to all current fall 2021 degree applicants at 11:19 a.m. on November 4, 2021. - Fall 2021 Commencement RSVP Deadline Reminder
