2025 Convocations

Convocations* at Northwestern are hosted by individual schools. Students cross the stage and hear their names read at these ceremonies. School-wide convocations are ticketed events.

Some Master’s programs do not participate in a school-wide ceremony and hold their own departmental ceremonies instead, including the School of Communication Master’s programs and the TGS/Feinberg Master’s programs. Many of these ceremonies do not require tickets. These ceremonies are not coordinated through the Graduation office and you will receive specific information from your program with ceremony details.

School Convocations for the Graduates of 2025 will be held in-person and will be livestreamed for anyone viewing remotely. Links to the livestream will be listed here closer to Graduation Weekend 2025. More information will be sent out by each school about their Convocation. For any additional information on Convocations, please contact your school representative.

*Ticketed event. Students will need to reserve a separate set of tickets for each ticketed event they plan to attend.
