Welcome Graduates!
The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Harvard University have several ways of documenting and celebrating your achievements.
Graduation
Graduation is the awarding of your degree. This administrative process happens three times per academic year:
- November, for students who complete their degree requirements in the summer term
- March, for students who complete their degree requirements in the fall term
- May, for students who complete their degree requirements in the spring term
Commencement and Convocation Ceremonies
Harvard and the T.H. Chan School of Public Health each host ceremonies once per year to celebrate the students who graduated at any time during that academic year. These ceremonies are typically held at the end of May:
- Convocation
Ceremony and activities for graduates of the T.H. Chan School of Public Health - Commencement
Harvard University-wide ceremony and activities, open to graduates of all Harvard schools
