Doctoral Graduate Information

  • In order to be eligible to participate, doctoral students must obtain approval to file the dissertation from the Graduate Division and file the completed manuscript in the library on or before May 31, 2011.
     
  • Doctoral graduates are welcome and encouraged to attend both this ceremony and the one conducted by their college or school. However, this is the one official campus ceremony for the award of the doctoral degree.
     
  • Doctoral students who complete the filing process are sent an email invitation with information they need to participate in the ceremony. Students who file during Spring receive the material soon after the dissertation is cleared by the library.
     
  • Graduates are responsible for renting the cap, gown and hood. These are available through Graduation Etcetera (A Level of Ackerman Union, phone (310) 825-2587). Graduates receive the link to Graduation Etcetera with their letters of invitation.
     
  • Light appetizers will be provided for the graduates and the faculty before the ceremony and light refreshments for everyone following the ceremony.
     
  • Parking permits are $10 ($3 rate for guests parking with a disabled parking placard). Parking Structure 2 is the designated lot for graduates. It is located at Hilgard and Westholme Avenues. After 6:00 p.m. guests attending the ceremony are welcome to park in Structure 5 on Royce Drive, just off Sunset Blvd. UCLA Parking Services attendants will staff both lots. For directions to Royce Hall & parking, please view the Campus Map (PDF-206KB).
