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 will be available on the Brown Bookstore website in late January.

The Warren Alpert Medical School 2025 Commencement 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 24. If any additional tickets are available at that time, the event manager will share them on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Details about lining up for the Commencement Procession, and other directions, will be posted closer to Commencement.
