The May 2023 doctoral hooding ceremony will be held on Tuesday, May 9 at 3:00 p.m. Doors will open to the public at 2:00 p.m. Graduates and their advisers will be asked to arrive at 1:30 p.m.
All doctoral students who apply for graduation will receive an email closer to the ceremony date asking them to confirm their attendance and provide further information via a registration link. This email will be delivered approximately one month before the ceremony date. This email and other important information will be sent to your clemson.edu address (not g.clemson.edu) so make sure that mailbox is not full and is forwarded to your preferred address, if applicable.
Please note that the hooding ceremony is the official ceremony for doctoral graduates, so doctoral graduates do not participate in the general graduation ceremony for master’s students and undergraduates.
Graduation information for master’s and specialist’s graduates is provided by the Office of the Registrar’s Graduation webpage and questions about those ceremonies can go to registrar@clemson.edu.
