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.

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.

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.
