Getting Ready
Review Your Expected Graduation Term on Cal Central
Your expected graduation term (or EGT for spring, summer, or winter) is automatically generated and posted to the ”My Academics” page of Cal Central underneath your photo. If you will not be completing all requirements for your degree by the end of your EGT, you will need to meet with an advisor in your college/school advising office.
Get Listed and Ticketed for Commencement
You get one complimentary grad ticket for your campuswide commencement celebration, for which you’re automatically signed up to walk. Check our FAQ for more information about tickets. You must still register to have your name listed in the commencement program; the deadline for the winter commencement program is November 20. Check back in October for a link to do so.
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.
