Please note:
Applying for a degree and participating in virtual commencement (RSVPing) are two separate processes; after you have completed your degree application, you must still RSVP Yes to be individually recognized in the virtual ceremonies.
In-Person Events
As you may have heard The University of Iowa will host two in-person events to celebrate the achievements of the spring 2021 graduating class. These events are separate from the virtual commencement ceremonies; RSVPing for a virtual commencement does not register anyone for the Celebration of Graduates at Kinnick.
All Spring 2021, Summer 2021, and recent REACH Program Completion students are eligible to participate. Eligible students who have applied for a degree should have received an email Monday, April 5th with instructions on how to register. The deadline to register is May 1 at 11:55 p.m.
More information about the in-person events can be found on the Celebration 2021 page.
The UI Commencement Team is helping to coordinate communication, but is not directly involved with organizing or staffing in-person events in spring 2021.
If you have questions about the in-person events please send a note using the Spring 2021 In-Person Event Contact Form.
