Chancellor’s December Recognition Ceremony
Saturday, December 14, 2024 – 10:00 a.m. CT
Athletic Complex Field House
The university has streamlined the December recognition process. Now, instead of a separate recognition ceremony for WashU Olin, graduates are invited to attend the Chancellor’s December Recognition Ceremony. Following that, Olin will host a dessert reception for our graduates to celebrate with their family, friends, faculty, and staff. That will be in the atrium from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The University-wide Chancellor’s December Recognition Ceremony will occur on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. in the Athletic Complex, Field House.
Please note that you must register to attend this ceremony. You will be sent an email once registration opens. Please visit the Commencement Website for more information. Questions regarding the University-wide Commencement event should be directed to the Commencement Office at 314-935-5985 or the Commencement Website.

You will NOT receive your diploma during the ceremony. The university offers certified electronic diplomas to all graduates along with your paper credentials. Your degree will be conferred on January 21, 2025, with a retroactive date of December 18, 2024, on your Diploma. Diplomas will be ordered from CeDiploma. Your certified electronic diploma will be ordered on your behalf and will take approximately 2-3 weeks to receive once diplomas are ordered. Instructions on how to obtain and download your diploma will be sent to your @wustl.edu email address. Note: The link to download your degree expires, so be sure to download it when you receive the email. Your paper diploma and diploma cover will arrive approximately 6-8 weeks after degree conferral, and you will receive notification once your diploma has been shipped. **International diploma shipments could be affected depending on customs and international shipping restrictions. The Registrar’s office monitors this information closely and will communicate with graduates as needed.
