GCU Commencement for Traditional Students

Invitations to register for the traditional commencement ceremony will be emailed directly from GCU in mid-September to eligible graduate candidates' email addresses on file. Graduate candidates who have not received their email invitation by the end of September should check their spam and junk folders or contact their student services counselor.

For questions regarding registration status or if a confirmation email was not received, please email the Commencement Office at [email protected].

It is strongly recommended that graduation candidates and guests avoid securing travel preparations until the graduation candidate has registered and received a confirmation email acknowledging ceremony participation.
