Getting Ready
Sign Up for
the Degree List
When registering for your last semester on CalCentral, add yourself to the term (spring, summer, or fall) in which you expect to complete all of your degree requirements. This degree list tells university officials that you are ready to graduate and in the process of completing your final courses.
Get Registered, Listed, and Ticketed for Commencement
Registering for your complimentary grad ticket also signs you up to walk in the campuswide commencement celebration; check our FAQ for more information about tickets. If you miss the November 20 program deadline, you are still welcome to walk, but your name will not be included in the printed program.
Get Your Cap, Gown, and More
Purchase your academic regalia, announcements, and other graduation items at the Cal Student Store. Order online and pick your items up at the store, or visit the store in person. Berkeley does not provide cords; check with your department and student groups to see if they provide them.
