Graduating medical students must complete an application to graduate through Banner.

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 is available on the Brown Bookstore website.

The Warren Alpert Medical School Commencement Ceremony is ticketed. Each student who is attending the ceremony receives four tickets. If a student who is attending the ceremony has an extra ticket that they would like to share with another graduating student, they are free to do so.

Tickets are distributed at the mandatory rehearsal on Saturday, May 23. If any additional tickets are available at that time, the event manager will share them on a first-come, first-served basis.

Additional guidance will be posted to this site soon.

International students who want to invite family members to attend Commencement can find information about obtaining a visitor visa on the International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) website.

Mandatory rehearsal for medical students participating in the ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 23, at 10 a.m. Each student will receive four tickets to the ceremony, distributed at rehearsal.
