Countdown to Commencement

April 21 and April 22 at Woodland Commons

UMassD is excited to start celebrating the Class of 2026! To kick things off, we’re holding a Countdown to Commencement event during cap and gown pickup in Woodland Commons from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 21 and 1 to 4 p.m. on April 22.

After years of hard work, we know you’re ready to walk across the stage to get your diploma. But first, there’s a few things you need to do. That’s why we’ve brought offices from across campus together in one place to make the graduation process as easy as possible.

You’ll have a chance to:

  • Pick up your cap and gown
  • Check with the Registrar about your graduation status
  • Ask questions about the ceremonies
  • Clear up any holds with the Bursar
  • Plan your post-grad moves with the Career Center

We’ll have free food and Class of 2026 t-shirts (while supplies last). We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
