Commencement for Graduate Education Programs
Spring
We will host a spring commencement ceremony for all master and doctoral students at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 22, 2024, in Bauman Auditorium on our Newberg campus. Doors open to guests one hour prior to the start of the ceremony. We anticipate the ceremony will last approximately one hour.
Livestream
The ceremony will be available to watch via livestream.
Regalia
Regalia is ordered for all graduates based on sizing information provided on their application for graduation. Regalia will be distributed to graduates by their department in early April.
MAT/MAT Plus (ESOL, Reading, SPED) students will be mailed their regalia. If you have questions, contact Brenda Graf at bgraf@georgefox.edu.
MEd and EdD graduates may contact Becky Jensen (rjensen@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2842) to arrange to pick up their regalia or to request that it be mailed.
ELED regalia will be mailed to the graduates. If you have questions, contact Jan Campadore at jcampadore@georgefox.edu.
All students must present their ID when picking up regalia.
Graduation Photographs
The Grad Team will serve as commencement photographers. Students do not need to preorder or request photos before the ceremony.
During the commencement ceremony, professional photographers will take multiple photos of every student and then notify graduates through their George Fox email when photos are ready for online viewing.
