Commencement Ceremonies

Associate, bachelor’s and master’s students are eligible to participate in commencement if they are within two courses of completing their degree programs and in good financial standing. Students interested in participating in a commencement ceremony must register online. Students are responsible to purchase their own regalia through the university's approved vendor.

Students should visit commencement.strayer.edu to register for commencement and order their cap and gown. 

To register for commencement and learn more about commencement dates, locations and important deadlines, please visit commencement.strayer.edu. 

Diplomas are not provided at commencement. Commencement is a ceremony and the student’s diploma will not be issued until after all their degree requirements have been completed and the Registrar's Office evaluation and approval is complete. A review of the student’s academic record will be completed by Strayer University in their final term of enrollment. The $150 Final Academic Requirements Evaluation Fee will be applied to the student’s account when they register for their capstone course.
