May 2024 Commencement Week Schedule

Making a difference one gown at a time!

Barry University Bachelor and Masters graduates wear a gown that is totally recyclable. Each Eco-Friendly gown reduces the amount of material recycled by using 27 plastic bottles that will not end up in a landfill. Along with saving bottles from the landfill, each gown gives back to the Environment and introduces another avenue for sustainability.

Students with degree conferral dates between June of 2023 through August of 2024 and have applied for graduation are eligible to participate in the May 2024 commencement. These students will be receiving a communication to their student email providing additional details regarding commencement and how to order their cap and gown.

Diploma

Your diploma will not be awarded at the time of Commencement. You will receive your diploma approximately six weeks after the date of graduation through the mail. For more information visit, Office of the Registrar-Diplomas.

Accommodations

Commencement weekend is a busy weekend in Miami, so graduates are encouraged to also look for options on airbnb or Vrbo. Additionally, please note that transportation is not provided from hotels to Barry University.

Exit Interviews

Have you borrowed Federal Student Loans?

If you are graduating and have borrowed Federal student loans, you are required by Federal regulations to fill out a student Loan Exit Interview prior to graduation. 

You may also visit a Financial Aid Counselor to discuss important information regarding repayment of your student loan repayment options, deferments, forbearance, consolidation, your legal rights and responsibilities, and to provide helpful tips in managing your student loans.

Exit Interview
