Graduating doctoral students: Get ready for an exciting weekend full of traditions, celebration and community.
Receiving Your Degree
Graduating doctoral students must complete the Application to Graduate in Self-Service Banner. See additional information about receiving your doctoral degree on the Graduate School website. Important graduation deadlines can be found on the Registrar’s website.
Wearing Regalia
Regalia (cap or tam, gown and hood) must be worn for the Procession and Commencement ceremonies on Sunday. Commissioning students and those with military service have the option to wear formal military attire in place of the cap and gown if they so choose and if permitted according to their status with the military. More information regarding the purchase and rental of regalia will be available on the Brown Bookstore website in late January.
