Getting Ready

1

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 are not completing all of your degree requirements by the end of your EGT, you will need to contact your college/school’s advising office.

2

Get Ticketed and Listed for Commencement

Due to COVID-19, the May 2020 campuswide commencement has been postponed. We will communicate with graduates as the situation evolves. 

3

Get Your Cap, Gown, and More

Purchase your cap and gown, frame, and other graduation items through the Cal Student Store, which will ship directly to your home. Berkeley does not provide cords; check with your department and student groups to see if they provide them.
