Hooding

The Doctoral Hooding ceremony is designed to give individual recognition to the doctoral candidate and his/her faculty advisor.

Faculty who plan to attend this ceremony to hood a doctoral student must fill out the Faculty and Administrator Participation Form when made available in 2024.

If you are not available to hood your student at the ceremony, you may designate someone from your department. Any student without an advisor or designee present will be hooded by the Dean of the Graduate School.

Step-by-step instructions will be made available prior to the Spring 2024 ceremonies.
