You're Almost There!

You’ve put in the hard work and now you are almost there. While you might be thinking of commencement as an end, it’s actually the beginning of the next chapter in your life, and we want to make sure it begins as smoothly as possible.

The first step is to complete the graduation application form, but before you do that, you might want to double-check with your advisor to make sure you’re on track to complete all of the necessary courses by next August.

A message from the vice chancellor

Our graduates will join the ranks of over 8,000 alumni from our IUPUC campus and be recognized for their accomplishments at the Commencement Celebration in May. We are proud that they may impact the communities of south central Indiana and beyond—not just as better skilled employees, but also as more thoughtful, reflective, and committed citizens. 

Dr. Reinhold Hill, Vice Chancellor and Dean
