Applying for Graduation and Registering for Commencement

To graduate and participate in the University Commencement Ceremony, students must first apply for graduation through the MyÂé¶¹ÊÓÆµ portal. Log in to MyÂé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, select All Cards, search for “Graduation,” and choose Apply for Graduation on the Getting Ready for Graduation card. Select the correct academic program (a separate application is required for each program), choose your graduation date, confirm your intent to participate in the commencement ceremony, and indicate the name and mailing address for your diploma. Review your application carefully and submit it before the graduation application deadline; late applications require permission from your dean’s office. Once your graduation application is submitted, you will receive a confirmation for your records. After applying for graduation, you will receive an email from iup-commencement@tassel.iup.edu with instructions to register for the commencement ceremony. All spring ceremonies are ticketed, and each graduate may claim up to six guest tickets—no tickets, no entry.

Once registered for the ceremony, graduates will claim their guest tickets in their Tassel Hub. They can print their tickets from the email or sent them directly to their guests via email.
