Each year Boston University holds an All-University Commencement in May. The School of Public Health also holds an individual commencement ceremony.  The BUSPH Commencement Ceremony will be held Saturday, May 18th 2013 at 2:00pm at Agganis Arena (925 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston MA 02215).   The 2013 All-University Commencement Ceremony will be held Sunday, May 19th at 1pm at Nickerson Field (285 Babcock St., Boston 02215).

Students who graduate in September or January are encouraged to participate in the May commencement exercises. Please note that there are three graduation dates each year (September 25, January 25, and May), but there is only one Commencement ceremony in May, which takes place on a Sunday specified by the Charles River Campus. The Student Services Office functions as the event coordinator for the BUSPH Commencement.

Students must apply to graduate!
