Important Commencement Updates for the Class of 2024

Ithaca College will host its Commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 19, 2024, starting at 10:00 a.m. ET inside the Athletics and Events Center's Glazer Arena. The May 2024 Commencement ceremony is offered to students who are graduating in December 2023, as well as May, July, August, October, and December 2024.

Congratulations to our 2024 Student Marshals!

At Ithaca College, the position of marshal for degree candidates is one of the highest honors bestowed on graduating seniors. These marshals are selected in February for the Commencement ceremony in May. Selected students are, with a few exceptions, the undergraduates who have maintained the highest GPA in their respective schools.

Additional Guest Ticket Lottery

Each graduate will have the opportunity to claim up to a maximum of up to three (3) additional tickets; this is in addition to your original allotment. If you only need one ticket, please only claim one additional ticket.

These tickets will be released via a first come, first served lottery process that will go live on Wednesday, April 10, at 8:00 p.m. ET. 

Don't Forget to Order Your Cap and Gown

As a reminder, all graduates participating in May 2024 Commencement must be wearing graduation regalia. The deadline to order your graduation regalia (cap and gown) to be shipped directly to you is Monday, April 15, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
