Which ceremony do I attend?
Your program of study determines which ceremony you will attend; to confirm your ceremony, consult this list of graduate programs and undergraduate departments. All graduates may attend the All-College Commencement.
Venue Accessibility
All Lineup spaces and ceremony venues are accessible. If you require a disability accommodation, please contact sas [at] emerson.edu (Student Accessibility Services) to help us with planning. For information about guest accommodations, please visit the Families and Guests’ page.
Venue Security
To help ensure the highest level of safety and security, all graduates will be subject to security searches with metal detection devices, and no food or beverages will be permitted at Lineup or the ceremonies.
Graduates will need their hands free and should only bring a pocket-sized bag large enough for their ID, phone, and keys—one that will fit under their gown.
You must bring your Emerson ID to gain entry to Lineup. Online students and December graduates without an Emerson ID should show their Emerson College GET app profile page, or bring a valid photo ID.
