Spring Commencement Ceremonies to Span Three Days

Georgia Tech’s unprecedented growth in student enrollment means more graduates — and more graduates attending Commencement. This semester, ceremonies will span three days in McCamish Pavilion in order to keep ceremony times consistent and provide a celebratory experience for all graduates.

Tickets will be required for all bachelor’s and master’s ceremonies, and each graduate will receive four tickets. Additional tickets may be available at will call the day of the ceremony, depending on the number of students who RSVP to attend. Tickets are not required to attend the Ph.D. ceremony.

Students must RSVP by March 15 to receive guest tickets. RSVP for Commencement.

Students eligible to graduate this semester were notified at the end of January of the ceremony schedule below. Graduates are mixed by college and degree level to have approximately the same amount of participants at each ceremony. This ensures the shortest ceremony time for each event.

All ceremonies will take place at McCamish Pavilion. Commencement moved back to McCamish Pavilion in Fall 2023 after a three-year, pandemic-induced stint at Bobby Dodd Stadium. 

Graduates will also have the chance to celebrate their accomplishments during Grad Fest Week, Feb. 26 – March 1, as well as at the President’s Graduation Celebration on Friday, May 3.
