STRAYER UNIVERSITY 2022 COMMENCEMENT
Eligibility Requirements
Associate, bachelor's, master's and JWMI graduates, and students who
are within two courses of degree completion at the time of the
ceremony, are eligible to participate in a commencement ceremony. Only
those registered for a ceremony by the deadline date noted will be
able to participate in the ceremony.
Eligible graduates
have the option to participate in a future commencement ceremony since
there isn't a time limit for when graduates walk. Eligible graduates
may also participate in both a virtual and in-person ceremony as long
as they're registered for each ceremony separately.
If
you have specific questions about commencement or your eligibility to
participate in a ceremony, please contact our commencement team.

Health & safety protocols for in-person commencement
We will take every step possible to ensure the health and safety of all participants in the 2022 in-person commencement ceremony. For this reason, we are limiting the number of graduates who attend in person. Those registered by the deadline date noted, or once we’ve reached graduate capacity (whichever comes first) will be included in the in-person ceremony.
Additional requirements for graduates and guests include:
- Attending students will be required to provide signed waivers.
- Students may bring a limited number of guests, who must preregister and must also provide signed waivers.
- Masks and social distancing will be required in all event spaces.
Future events may require more or less strict requirements,
depending on the protocols determined by the university and state and
local restrictions.
As we continue to monitor the national health situation and plan for commencement, we will post updates about plans and protocols for students and graduates who wish to attend.
