Current Students

Congratulations to all Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation graduates for Summer and Fall 2025!

Watch the recorded livestream of our event from Dec. 13 on ASU Live.

Future graduates: Spring 2026 ceremony dates for all university graduation events are currently under review. The full ceremony schedule will be confirmed and published in February 2026 on the ceremonies homepage.

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, staff, and guests 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 Feb. 15 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 on the Graduation website. 

Special note for summer grads: You must apply by February 15 in order to RSVP for Spring events. Please indicate "Summer 2025" as your term of completion on the application portal. If you plan to participate in Fall 2026 ceremonies, your application is due by June 15.

Registering for a ceremony lets the ceremony coordinators know that you plan to attend the individual events during graduation week. All ASU graduation events require registration. For Spring 2026 ceremonies, the registration site will usually open in mid-February closes in early April. The site allows graduates to register for any and all events they plan to attend in May.

Graduates who have applied to graduate by the priority deadline (Feb. 15) will be automatically enrolled to receive an email notification to register. If graduates have any questions about the registration process or their eligibility, please email [email protected] for assistance.

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 four 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.
