Need to apply for graduation?

Commencement and Graduation are separate events. Participation in the Commencement Ceremony does NOT mean you have graduated. Commencement exercises are ceremonial and symbolic. Your participation in the Commencement Ceremony should not be confused with your actual graduation from the Institute.

Students do not officially graduate from Pratt Institute until they have applied for graduation and completed all degree requirements as defined in their degree audit. They must remain in good academic standing. Students with a hold on their record will graduate but they may not be eligible to receive their diploma until all holds have been resolved.

Quick Answer Guide:

Who can participate? The students who graduated at the end of the summer semester 2011, fall semester 2011, and students who are candidates for graduation at the end of spring semester 2012 are invited to participate in the Commencement Ceremony held on May 9, 2012.

Students who will complete their requirements in Summer 2012 or Fall 2012, but who want to walk in the 2012 Ceremony rather than wait for their proper 2013 Ceremony may fill out out a Permission to Walk form.
