For graduates needing to complete Commencement registration, please review the following:
- If you have NOT applied for your degree for 2025 Spring/Summer semester, you will not be able to register. Verify with the Registrar's office that your degree application has been processed and there are no holds on your account.
- If you HAVE applied for your degree in the 2025 Spring/Summer semester, you will receive instructions to your UKY email from Tassel to complete your registration once registration opens on March 7. Subsequent emails will be sent to students who apply for their degree between March 7 and April 1.
- Graduates with a degree application for August will be invited to participate in the Spring Commencement Ceremonies.
- You will be sent a link to your UKY email from commencement@uky.edu with the subject line: Register for your May 2025 Commencement Ceremony! In order to participate in Commencement, you must set your password via the email and complete the registration form through Tassel.
- Once logged in, keep in mind that only one (1) degree and one (1) major will show on your account. IF you are a dual degree/major, please confirm the degree in your profile is your main preference for the College with which you would like to walk. Certificate recipients are not recognized as part of Commencement.
- After your form is submitted, you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive more information regarding day-of details in the days leading up to your ceremony.
Please contact commencement@uky.edu if you have not received a link via email to register for Commencement or need to make updates on your Tassel profile.
