Each graduating student is entitled to 5 tickets to Commencement (4 guest tickets plus one for yourself) and an unlimited number of announcements.

In addition to the tickets, you will need to pick up a "marching card" which you must bring with you to the ceremony. Please note that guests and graduates must show their tickets in order to be admitted to the ceremony.

The Museum School graduation does not include a formal procession. We would like all graduating students to arrive at 3:30 pm and sit in the front rows of the auditorium which will be reserved. You must bring your marching card with you to Commencement. This card will enable your name to be read during the ceremony. Students will be instructed to rise and proceed to the stage by row. They will then hand their marching card to the reader, walk across the stage and then back to their seat.

Following the ceremony, graduates and their guests are invited to the Museum School, 230 The Fenway, for a reception and viewing of the "Graduating Students" and "Senior Projects" exhibitions. Tickets are not required for this event. Diplomas will be available for pick up in the Student Affairs office at this time.

Graduating students must complete the student survey in order to participate in the ceremony. Survey instructions will be sent out soon. Tickets to the graduation ceremony will not be issued to students who have not completed the survey. Open accounts (tuition, lab fees, library fines, etc.) must be paid in full by April 16. Students who fail to do so will be permitted to participate in the ceremony but will not receive their diploma until all balances have been cleared with the Business office.

The "Graduating Students Exhibition" is open to all graduating students who are not participating in "Senior Projects." ("Senior Projects" will be on view at the same time as the "Graduating Students Exhibition.") The "Graduating Students Exhibition" will be on view in Grossman Gallery from Friday, May 21–Tuesday, June 1.

The drop-off dates are Monday, May 10 and Tuesday, May 11 from 10–5 pm in Exhibitions. Work must be ready for installation at drop off (framed, hanging hardware, etc.).

Finally, at this year's ceremony, we would like to show images of work by all graduating students. Please bring between one and five jpegs of your work ! to the Dean's office by Friday, May 7. Images must be 300 dpi, at least 5 x 7 inches, 1–3 MB.
