Program Details

The University of Iowa Commencement Program lists degree candidates by degree type within each college.

• Inclusion in the program does not verify degree completion and is not tied to ceremony participation.
• Students earning degrees in summer and fall appear in the fall program, even if they participate in a spring ceremony.
• Applying for a degree after the application deadline may result in exclusion from the commencement program.
• Students with directory restrictions in MyUI will be excluded.
• The Colleges of Dentistry, Law, Pharmacy, and the Iowa MBA Program produce their own programs, so if you want your name excluded, you need to contact your collegiate coordinator. 

Review Your Data Restrictions

To ensure your name is not withheld because of directory restrictions:

• Visit the Student Data Restriction page in MyUI and check your responses to the following questions.
  • Do you want to remove your name and address information from the university directory? Select No.
  • Do you want to prohibit public release of academic information (major, college, class, degrees received, dates of attendance, and full/part-time status)? Select No.
• If one or both of your answers to the questions above are marked as Yes, your name will not appear in the program.
• Your selection in the “section of information to restrict from public release” will not impact whether your name will appear in the program.

If you would like to withhold your name from the commencement program and for any additional questions about the commencement program, please contact UI-commencement@uiowa.edu.
