Each college will host its own personalized ceremony, featuring messages from various individuals specifically chosen to honor and address graduates. During these ceremonies, degrees will be conferred, and graduates who have RSVP’d ‘I plan to participate’ will be individually recognized.
To access the livestream, visit the individual ceremony pages and navigate to the ‘Livestream’ section. If you miss the premiere, don’t worry—the ceremonies will be available on the University of Iowa YouTube channel after the conclusion of the ceremony. | Commencement Program The University of Iowa Commencement Program is a listing of degree candidates from each college, sorted by degree type. Publishing the names of degree candidates in the program is not a verification of completion of degree requirements. Inclusion in the commencement program is not tied to participation in a ceremony.
- All graduates are listed in the program according to the time at which they earned or are expected to earn a degree.
- Summer and fall graduate names appear in the fall program even if the student is participating in a spring ceremony.
- Applying for a degree after the degree application deadline may result in the exclusion of the student's name from the commencement program, or, if their name, address, or academic information are restricted in MyUI from directory or public release.
Graduates will receive a copy of the commencement program at their ceremonies. A PDF downloadable version of the program is now available on the programs webpage. | | | |
