We recognize that not all students will continue to check their Georgia Tech email address after graduation. To ensure we have accurate contact information, we ask that interested students register their preferred email address with the Commencement Office. All information about the ceremony will be sent via email. 

Yes. We will only send fall Commencement information to registered email addresses so we do not spam students who know they will not be participating. 

No. Students may use a personal email address if they choose.

We suggest that students who are uncertain about their participation still register with the Commencement Office to ensure they receive information. Students who do not complete the form will be opted-out of Fall Commencement information emails.

Summer graduates who complete the email registration form will receive communications from our office in early September with RSVP dates and information. 

Yes. The Institute will continue to award degrees for spring, summer, and fall semesters. The only difference is that Georgia Tech will produce its commencement ceremony following spring and fall semesters.

Active summer degree candidates who complete all the necessary requirements to graduate during the summer term will receive their diplomas six to eight weeks after the term’s completion.

Please review our policies for early and late walks at the time of your graduation. Summer students with two classes or fewer remaining and good academic standing can apply to walk a semester early. Late walks are approved on a case-by-case basis. 

Yes. Summer graduates will be listed in the respective fall Commencement program, with a special symbol denoting their summer graduation status. 
Students may request for the Commencement Office to mail them a copy of the fall program by emailing us at events@comm.gatech.edu.

Graduate may either purchase while they are on campus in the summer or order online through the Barnes & Noble at Georgia Tech and have their regalia shipped to them.
