Information on future ASU ceremonies can be found on https://graduation.asu.edu/ceremonies/futuredates.

The confirmed date for our next convocation in December 2025 will be published in mid-September on the ASU ceremonies webpage. 

Updates regarding all graduation events are sent directly to graduating students’ ASU emails and as notifications on their MyASU homepages. It is the student’s responsibility to check their accounts and be mindful of due dates associated with all ASU ceremonies and graduation processes.

Convocation events, hosted by colleges, are celebrations of individual achievement where graduate names are called and graduates cross the stage. Edson College graduates completing their programs will join their peers, college leadership, faculty and staff, in our event with all of the customary and celebratory elements of traditional convocation. 

University Graduate and Undergraduate Commencement ceremonies are the university-wide ceremonies at which President Crow confers degrees.

At Graduate Commencement, doctoral graduates have their names read and cross the stage at Graduate Commencement. Master degree candidates will be announced by college, but not individually.

At Undergraduate Commencement, undergraduates are presented by college, but not individually.

Celebrations are held by and for various student groups and are open to all graduating students.

View the full list of Special Interest Celebrations on the ASU ceremonies website.

Convocation and Celebration times and locations are subject to change.

All graduating students, regardless of ceremony participation plans, must apply for graduation and pay the required fees. The priority deadline for application is October 1 before additional late fees take affect. Students complete this process online by visiting MyASU and clicking the "Apply for Graduation" link in the My Programs & Advising box. They may also apply in-person or by mail. Detailed information and instructions can be found at https://registrar.asu.edu/graduation-apply. 

Diplomas are mailed six to eight weeks after the degree conferral date to the home address on file with University Registrar Services. Please update your diploma mailing address via MyASU prior to Commencement to ensure the delivery of your diploma.

Doctoral graduates receive their diploma case at the Graduate Commencement ceremony. Master’s and Bachelor’s graduates participating in the Edson College Convocation event will receive their diploma case at the ceremony just before crossing the stage. If you are unable to attend, you may request to have your diploma case mailed to you by completing the diploma case request form. Diploma case request will take up to 4 weeks to process following form submission.

All undergraduate Nursing program graduates will receive a free, commemorative pin at check-in for the Edson College Convocation ceremony. You will not need to order pins separately from the Herff Jones dashboard. Please contact your individual program office for questions. 

If you missed a past convocation event or will not participate in a future ceremony, you can order your pin on this webform: https://links.asu.edu/Edson-nursing-pin. 

Graduates completing degree requirements in summer may opt to participate in spring (May) graduation ceremonies prior to course completion or in the fall (December) following course completion. Graduation ceremonies include university commencement, college convocation, and special interest celebrations. Summer graduates who apply for graduation by June 15 will receive an RSVP link for the fall ceremony at the same time as other students.
