Congratulations Class of 2020. Now is the time to RSVP to attend commencement to celebrate your time at DePaul.
June graduates: RSVP for commencement and purchase your regalia by April 9
Submitting an RSVP before the deadline guarantees graduates will receive their guest ticket allotment. Graduates will not be allowed to participate in a ceremony unless they have purchased regalia. Each graduate will receive six guest tickets. Tickets are distributed at
Early Ticket Pickup in April and at the
Commencement Kickoff event in June.
Next steps for June graduates:
- RSVP through Campus Connect and purchase regalia before April 9. You must apply for degree conferral before you are able to RSVP.
- Apply to be the student speaker at your commencement ceremony. The application deadline is March 6.
- Share information with your commencement guests about the ticketing process and Wintrust Arena bag policy. This policy limits the size of purses and bags brought into the venue. Anyone attending commencement, including graduates, will be turned away if he or she is carrying items such as a purse, camera bag, briefcase, diaper bag or backpack. You may bring clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags that do not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″ or a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag to hold belongings.
- Bookmark DePaul’s commencement website to stay up-to-date.
