Important Dates and Information for Graduating Students

The first step to determine your eligibility to graduate and confer your degree in May 2025. Apply to graduate.

• Apply before March 31 to ensure your name is included in the Commencement program.
• Apply before April 17 to be included in the May Commencement ceremony.

To graduate and receive your diploma, your tuition bill must be paid in full. Be sure to check CLASS to confirm you have no outstanding balance. If you have any questions about payment or available payment plans, the One-Stop Student Services Center is here to help.

Academic regalia—caps and gowns—are required for all graduates at Commencement. Order your graduation attire, and contact the bookstore at bookstoremanager@adelphi.edu with any questions.

Students who have already placed their regalia orders can use the order lookup tool to track orders. You will also receive an email with tracking information when your order ships.

In March, you will receive an email from Tassel (formerly MarchingOrder) to your Adelphi email address.

1. You must register via Tassel to attend your Commencement ceremony.
2. Submit your phonetic name pronunciation

Please email commencement@adelphi.edu with questions or concerns.

Request your Oracle Yearbook and it will be shipped directly to you over the summer! All graduating undergraduate seniors are eligible to order a copy of the yearbook.

Supply is limited and will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis. Yearbooks can only be shipped within the United States and are shipped directly from our publisher. Your order must be placed by May 11, 2025. Please email engage@adelphi.edu with any questions about the yearbook.

Every year, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) conducts its First Destination Survey to track the progress of new college graduates as they enter the job market.

Take the survey and tell us your plans after graduation.
