Throughout our history ECU’s commencement ceremony has been 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 ceremony for Spring 2023 Commencement will be in person at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Friday, May 5 at 10 a.m.
All ECU spring 2023 graduates and eligible summer 2023 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 form, which has a deadline of April 14, will be emailed to graduates and posted on the ECU Commencement website.
The required RSVP process will assist with logistical planning, guest seating, and safety protocols. Students who have completed the RSVP by April 14 will receive additional emailed instructions.
ECU will host college specific recognition ceremonies on campus May 5-6. Unlike the university commencement ceremony in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, each college recognition ceremony will require tickets for entry. Details for the college recognition are available on the ECU Commencement website.
Information about the RSVP, tickets for the college ceremonies, and other logistical details will be emailed to those who have applied to graduate throughout March and April.
