Hooding Ceremonies

Doctoral and masters candidates will be hooded prior to the Commencement ceremony during a special event determined by each academic school. Students will be contacted by their school or college with information regarding their event. Below is a list of scheduled hooding events. You may contact the school or college directly for more information.

If you are unable to attend the hooding event, but still plan to participate in the Commencement ceremony, you will need to contact your school or college to pick up your hood at a different time.
