Do not fear. Fulton Schools students have up to two (2) years to participate in a Convocation ceremony after their planned graduation date.
Spring 2025 ceremony registration closed April 7 — but you can still attend.
Did you email the Fulton Schools Convocation team before April 6?
Yes! I emailed [email protected] before April 6. Follow these instructions:
- Collect your photo ID and your proof of your earned degree (photo of diploma, transcript or My ASU screenshot showing degree and date earned).
- Bring them to your to your ceremony check-in.
- Go to the line for your last name to get your card.
No! I did not email [email protected] before April 6. Follow these instructions:
- Collect your photo ID and your proof of your earned degree (photo of diploma, transcript or My ASU screenshot showing degree and date earned).
- Bring them to your to your ceremony check-in.
- Go to the “Not Registered” line to get your card.
No further registration or email requests are needed.
Special case: 2020 and Spring 2021 Graduates
If you are a student who graduated in 2020 or Spring of 2021 (when we had online-only Convocation ceremonies) and you have not yet participated in a ceremony, you may request to participate in any future ceremony.
Once you have “walked” (physically participated) in a ceremony, you may not participate in another.
Spring 2025 ceremony registration closed April 7 — but you can still attend.
If you missed the deadline to register for the ceremony, arrive at check-in for your ceremony and go to the “Not Registered” line with:
- Photo ID.
- Proof of your earned degree (photo of diploma, transcript or My ASU screenshot showing degree and date earned).
You may participate once your degree and ceremony are verified.
No further registration or email requests are needed.
Summer graduates
Summer 2025 graduates
Spring 2025 ceremony registration closed April 7 — but you can still attend.
If you missed registration or you applied to graduate after April 1, follow these instructions:
- Collect your photo ID and your My ASU login showing Summer 2025 graduation application.
- Bring them to your to your ceremony check-in.
- Go to the “Not Registered” line to get your card.
You may participate once verified. No further registration or email requests are needed.
Early graduates
Fall 2025 early graduates
Registration to apply to be an early graduate has passed for Spring 2025.
Future graduates
You can graduate now and participate up to two years later!
As a Fulton Schools graduate, you may participate in a future Engineering Convocation ceremony but only within two years of the semester in which you earned your degree.
For example, if you graduate in Spring 2025, you can participate in Fall 2025, Spring 2026, Fall 2026 or Spring 2027.
To participate in a future ceremony, return to this website at the beginning of the semester in which you want to participate. Then request participation as a past graduate.
Application fees explained
Will I have to pay my ASU graduation application fee twice? No.
Whether you are graduating early, on time or in the future, you only pay your ASU graduation application fee one time, when you apply to graduate. This fee pays for your diploma, diploma case, honor cords, etc. Basically, this is your fee to complete your degree.
There is no cost to participate in the Fulton Schools Convocation ceremonies, regardless of when you pay your ASU graduation application fee. The two are unrelated.
Check your asu.edu email
ASU and the Fulton Schools will use your asu.edu email address for all graduation and Convocation communications.
