No. You do not need to register to observe the graduation. However, to have a personalized video or photo included, you were asked to submit that material by April 30.

Note: If you do not wish to participate in the ceremony or do not want a personalized video prepared for you, please contact Emilee Roberts at roberts4@rose-hulman.edu.

Registration is not necessary to observe the graduation ceremony. There was an April 30 deadline to submit a photo or video to be included in the event.

Yes. The deadline was April 30.

The virtual ceremony will begin at 8:30 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 30, 2020. We hope this time will help to accommodate those students and families watching from various time zones throughout the world. If you or your loved ones are unable to attend the premiere of the ceremony at 8:30 p.m. EDT, you will still be able to view the recordings and graduate videos at a later time. To join the virtual ceremony on May 30 at 8:30 p.m. EDT or at a later date visit www.rose-hulman.edu/graduation.

The entirety of the event will be less than an hour and will include a “walk” through campus, short addresses from members of the senior class, a brief speech from a very special keynote speaker, recognition of graduates receiving honors and awards, and an opportunity for each of you to “receive” your diploma from your respective department head in a personalized video.

In addition, we will be sending a graduation package in the mail that will arrive just prior to the May 30th event. The graduation package will include items to help you celebrate your graduation, and some items will need to be opened when prompted during the virtual event. Speaking of which, have you provided us with the best address to send this package so that you can have it in hand and ready to open on May 30? Please verify your address or provide a new address by May 8 through Banner Web.

Beginning at 8:15 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 30, you may join the ceremony at www.rose-hulman.edu/graduation. Your family and friends can join you at the same time, using the same link. Families and guests do not need to register.

Note: If you do not wish to participate in the ceremony or do not want a personalized video prepared for you, please contact Emilee Roberts at roberts4@rose-hulman.edu.

While graduates are not required to participate in the ceremony, it is our hope that you will join us in celebrating this major milestone in your life, while being a part of our very first virtual graduation ceremony! You are also invited to participate in our in-person commencement ceremony which we will be held at a later date.

Note: If you do not wish to participate in the ceremony or do not want a personalized video prepared for you, please contact Emilee Roberts at roberts4@rose-hulman.edu.

Please consider proceeding with the purchase of your cap and gown as it is an important symbol of your achievement. We also encourage you to incorporate it into your personal celebrations – wear it for the photo to be included on your personal recognition video, wear it while watching the virtual ceremony and share your photos in cap and gown on social media.
