East Carolina will hold its Spring 2024 Commencement Ceremony on May 3 at 10 a.m. at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
Ceremonies for the individual colleges at ECU where names will be read will have their own ceremonies for the rest of May 3 and May 4 in different locations, according to the commencement website. Ticket information will be shared directly with graduates, but guest tickets are not required for the main ceremony in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
Degrees with distinction will be for students graduating with certain GPA requirements. For the Summa Cum Laude distinction, students need a minimum GPA of 3.90. Magna Cum Laude is for GPA averages between 3.60 and 3.90. Cum Lause is for graduates with averages between 3.50 and 3.60.
The times and dates for each individual event can be found on the commencement website. The main commencement will have a live stream link to watch virtually.
The official vendor for graduation caps and gowns is Dowdy Student Stores in the Main Campus Student Center. Graduates can pick up their regalia and other merchandise throughout the week, though shipping is no longer available for caps and gowns, according to the website, unless you are a distance education student.
GradBash is ECU’s once-per-year celebration event for the graduating class. It will take place on May 2 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the North side of Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Admission is free for all.
