East Carolina University’s commencement ceremony is a time to recognize and celebrate the achievements of our students. This time-honored tradition congratulates them for a job well done and encourages them to accomplish amazing things in the future.
The university’s Fall 2022 Commencement Ceremony will be in-person at Minges Coliseum on Friday, December 16 at 9 a.m. College recognition ceremonies will also take place on Friday, December 16 at various times and locations.
All ECU fall 2022 graduates and eligible summer 2022 graduates, including those earning undergraduate, masters, doctoral and professional degrees, will be required to complete an RSVP form to participate in the university commencement ceremony. The RSVP process is open with a deadline of November 18.
The required RSVP process will assist with logistical planning, guest seating and safety protocols. Students who have completed the RSVP by November 18 will receive additional instructions by email closer to the university ceremony. There will be no family/guest tickets required for entry to the University Commencement Ceremony.
ECU will host college specific recognition ceremonies on campus on the afternoon and evening of December 16. Each college recognition ceremony, unlike the university commencement ceremony, will require tickets for entry. You can view the specific times and locations for each college on the ECU Commencement website. Specific details about each college ceremony and tickets will be sent via email to graduates from their college.
