UI Commencement

The Commencement RSVP Portal is Open

The RSVP portal in MyUI is open and will be closing soon. The deadline has been extended.

The RSVP process is an opt-in system. Only students who RSVP as "I plan to participate" by the deadline and attend the ceremony will have their names read and displayed during the ceremony broadcast.

The RSVP portal is located in MyUI within the Degrees/Graduation tile. Students will receive a confirmation email to their uiowa.edu account once their RSVP has been finalized. Only students can RSVP and see their RSVP status.

More RSVP information can be found on the commencement website. Please email the UI Commencement Team if you have any questions about the RSVP process.

Get Regalia Today

The University of Iowa has a new, more branded regalia design to help Hawkeyes celebrate their accomplishments in style. We ask that students participating in commencement use these new gowns and do not borrow from a former student or family member. All graduates are expected to wear academic regalia at their ceremonies.

The Herff Jones online ordering portal is now open. Order online by April 11 at 10:59 p.m. CST to have your regalia shipped to your home. Shipping fees apply. Additionally, regalia is available at the Iowa Hawk Shop and University Bookstore located in the Iowa Memorial Union.

Additional information and the link to order are available on the apparel page of the commencement website.

All regalia must be in hand prior to the student's commencement ceremony. Regalia will not be available to purchase or rent at the ceremonies.
