- If you HAVE applied for your degree for the 2025 Fall semester, you will receive instructions to your UKY email to complete your registration once registration opens on October 3. Subsequent emails will be sent to students who apply for their degree between October 3 and November 1.
- You will be sent a link to your UKY email from commencement@uky.edu with the subject line: Register for your December 2025 Commencement Ceremony! In order to participate in Commencement, you must set your password via the emailed link and complete the registration form through Tassel. Please be sure to fully read the instructions in the email on how to complete your registration.
