Faculty participation in commencement ceremonies emphasizes the value of the guidance, leadership and support you have given to students. We encourage you to attend and join your students and their guests in celebrating this important milestone.

Academic Regalia
Academic regalia is required for those marching in the academic procession, including official delegates, faculty, administrators, trustees and platform guests. All delegates are requested to provide their own academic regalia. All Case Western Reserve University faculty planning to march in the convocation procession will need to obtain their own regalia from the University Bookstore. The deadline to rent or purchase academic regalia for commencement is April 23.
Emeriti Faculty
Emeriti faculty who are interested in marching with other emeriti in the academic procession should register with the Office of Emeriti Affairs. The Office of Emeriti Affairs can assist emeriti faculty in renting academic regalia if needed, and can also assist with registration for a specific school’s diploma ceremony.
