SF State’s Commencement at Oracle Park

For Degree Graduates: BS, MA, MS, Ed.D. with or without a Credential

1.      Apply to graduate: Go to the Commencement website and follow the steps. This gets your name in the printed program, and starts your diploma process. A $100 fee will be charged to your SFSU account.

2.      Rent your cap and gown (“regalia”) online through Jostens by Thursday April 17 so it gets to you on time.

• Wearing your cap and gown allows you to enter Oracle Park.
• You will get 7 tickets for friends and family when you rent your regalia. If you have tickets that you will not use, please contact the Academic Coordinator in the Department.
• Rent the regalia that matches your degree level.

3.      Get your  GCOE sash from your department, complements of the GCOE.

4.      If your department is also having a celebration, enjoy that as well!
