Methodist University President Stanley T. Wearden stands with a graduate during a Winter Commencement at Crown Coliseum in 2022.

Graduation

Commencement is a long-standing tradition that celebrates the achievements of our graduates. It is the culmination of our students’ hard work over the course of the last four years (and sometimes even longer), and in the case of our graduate students, intensive study over a shorter period of time.

Caps & Gowns

More information regarding the Commencement ceremony on May 11 will be sent soon, but Jostens has opened ordering for caps and gowns. Please click this link to order.

You may choose between having your regalia shipped to campus (pick up at Bookstore) or to your home. If you are on campus this semester, ship to campus is likely the easiest choice.

Cap, gown, tassel, and hood are included in your graduation fee. You will have to check out, but your total should be zero. Doctoral students should select “Student Rental Doctor” rather than the shipping options.
