If you're unable to attend in person, you can watch the ceremony live on Lynn University's YouTube Channel, and a recording will remain available after the ceremony.

Graduates and guests can park at the convention center's garage located off South Rosemary Avenue. Additional parking is available nearby, and Palm Beach County Sheriff's Officers will be available to direct traffic. Find more parking information.

If you are a graduate needing assistance, contact ada@lynn.edu to request reasonable accommodations for a disability. Guests may also contact ada@lynn.edu to request special assistance and/or seating for the ceremony.

We encourage all graduates and guests to dress up for this special occasion! Dress pants, shirts and ties, dresses and skirts are appropriate attire for graduates. Wear comfortable shoes. Flip-flops are not permitted. Business or business-casual attire is encouraged for guests.

We ask everyone to remain for the duration of the ceremony, which includes the official conferring of degrees.

Honors medal recipients will be notified if they have received a medal based on their final GPA. Medals will be on the chairs of graduates who have earned them.

A professional photographer will take a photo of each graduate after they have walked across the stage. Graduates will receive an email several days after commencement that invites them to purchase copies.

Mobile phones are permitted. However, please be courteous and silence your phone during the ceremony. Photography is not permitted on stage.

We expect the ceremony to finish by 4 p.m. Then, graduates will have the opportunity to take photos with family and friends.

Diplomas are finalized approximately 14 weeks after you complete your degree requirements. The Office of the Registrar will deliver the diploma according to the information you provide on the Graduation and Diploma Application form. Please note that your student account must be in order with no balance due.
