Benefits of Attending Commencement Fair
We encourage all students to attend a Commencement Fair. It’s the ultimate event for everything you need for graduation, all in one place!
- Pick up your Commencement Pass (required for the ceremony)
- Purchase regalia, grad gear and class rings
- Take a free professional graduation portrait with GradImages
- Explore alumni opportunities and learn how to stay connected with FIU
You must present your OneCard or a state-issued ID to pick up your Commencement Pass.
Can’t Attend a Commencement Fair?
If you can’t make it to your assigned fair, feel free to attend any other session. However, you must attend at least one fair to pick up your pass.
Someone else can pick up your Commencement Pass and cap and gown for you, but they must provide a signed authorization letter, including your Panther ID, a copy of your student ID (Panther Card or driver’s license) and their photo ID (matching the name on the letter).
Please submit your authorization letter to grad@fiu.edu.
