Once again we come to the time for the hardworking students of Kean to celebrate their commencement with their family, friends and peers. Possibly one of the best days of their lives, students will walk across the stage with a diploma in one hand and the whole world at their fingertips.
Graduate and undergraduate students who are planning to graduate must complete an online application on KeanWise to be considered for graduation. Students who are eligible to apply will receive an email from the Office of Registrar.

Be sure to meet with your advisor or program coordinator to determine if you are on track for graduation.

Commencement will be taking place on May 17 for graduate students and May 19 for undergraduate students. This year, the commencements will take place indoors at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and the Prudential Center.
Margaret McCorry, Associate Vice President for University Relations talks about her hope for commencement this year, “ My hope is that no matter how we have to celebrate, whether in person or virtually, students and families will be able to celebrate their incredible accomplishments on Commencement day, as well as in family settings at home or elsewhere in the days and weeks following.”
If there are any questions or concerns regarding commencement, students can email: regme@kean.edu or by phone at (908) 73-REGME.
Congratulations Cougars!
