Commencement Participation
Students are eligible to cross the stage only once, either in December or May. If you participated in the Tuesday, December 5, 2023 Convocation Ceremony, you are not eligible to participate in the May 3-4, 2024 Commencement Ceremonies.

An invitation to RSVP for the Doctoral Commencement Ceremony will be sent out to all eligible doctoral degree candidates at their Rice email. Details regarding the faculty member you wish to place your hood during the ceremony will also be collected via that brief survey.
