Dear Class of 2025,

Commencement week at Tulane is an experience like no other, and we cannot wait to welcome your friends and families to New Orleans to celebrate your accomplishments. As we begin the countdown to May, please read the following message in its entirety. It contains important information for all students and guests.

The Unified Commencement ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 17, 6:00 p.m. at the Caesars Superdome. At this special milestone ceremony, which will feature an academic procession, keynote speaker, and live jazz, President Michael A. Fitts will officially confer degrees upon all Tulane University degree candidates (undergraduate, graduate, and professional).

In addition to the Unified Commencement ceremony, graduates are invited to the ceremony of the school awarding their degree. At these ceremonies, graduates’ names are called individually as they cross the stage.

Visit the Commencement website for the updated schedule of school ceremonies.

Tickets will be required for attendance at the Unified Commencement in the Caesars Superdome. Instructions for requesting tickets (up to 25 per graduate) will be shared in April via email and the Commencement website.

At this time, we do not anticipate ticketing for individual school ceremonies. Schools will communicate directly with their graduates about diploma and hooding ceremonies, and information will also be posted to the Commencement website. Please note that ticketing requirements are subject to change.

Congratulations!

2025 Commencement Planning Team
