Pick Up Your Guest Tickets and Invitations for University Commencement
Guest tickets and invitations will be available for pick up beginning Wednesday, March 1, 2023.
Individual arrangements will be made for students away from campus and online learners.
Check the Commencement Website Often
Students/families will receive an informational postcard concerning University Commencement in late February. Check the Commencement website frequently for the latest information regarding University Commencement, College Graduation Ceremonies and other important topics.
Order Commencement Regalia
Undergraduate, master's, and CAGS regalia will be available in the UNE Bookstore and on the web in early April. Regalia must be purchased by the end of April to ensure that students have what they need for the commencement ceremonies.
D.O. students will get their regalia (tam, gown, tassel, and hood) through the COM Office of Recruitment, Student, and Alumni Services (RSAS). Contact RSAS at (207) 602-2329 or comsa@une.edu.
Pharm.D., D.M.D., D.P.T., and Ed.D. students will get regalia through the Office of Graduate and Professional Student Affairs. Contact the office at (207) 221-4212 or pcstudentaffairs@une.edu.
Plan Your Visit and Make Lodging Arrangements for Guests
We strongly encourage making early lodging reservations because other events are happening in Portland the same weekend as Commencement.
Prepare For Life After UNE
Contact Career Services for assistance with your job search and save their contact information for any future job searches.
Also, remember that your relationship with UNE doesn't end after Commencement, but begins a new stage. Here's how we can all keep in touch.
Attend a Student Loan Exit Interview
If you have a federal student loan, watch for additional information from your academic program and/or Student Financial Services to attend your required Student Loan Exit Interview. Exit interviews will take place in several formats in late April/May.
