Commencement — Sunday, Aug. 10, 2025

Dear Graduate,

We are excited to celebrate you at your Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, August 10th at 7 p.m. The ceremony will take place on the Flight Deck of the USS Midway in beautiful San Diego! (910 N. Harbor Dr.)

We are thrilled to announce our Commencement Speaker will be Mr. Steve Ridder, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Men’s Basketball Head Coach. Coach Ridder is a dynamic and motivational speaker, and you will no doubt be inspired by his message!

Please note:

• Each graduate is responsible for bringing their own regalia. This includes cap, gown, tassel and hood for Master’s students, and cap, gown and tassel for undergraduate students.
• Check-in will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Hangar Deck on Sunday, August 10. Please come with regalia to check in and receive your individual reader card. Medals of Distinction and Honor Cords will be provided upon check-in to all qualified graduates who are degree-complete prior to the ceremony.
• Guest seating will begin at 6 p.m. on the Flight Deck. Due to limited venue space, five guests per graduate are permitted.
• We ask that graduates remain in the check-in area until the time comes to line up. All graduates will be lined up at 6:15 p.m., and the Commencement Ceremony will begin promptly at 7 p.m.
• Any graduate or guest arriving later than 6:45 p.m. on Sunday will be required to wait until after the start of the ceremony to be seated.

Additional communication will be sent in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on your inbox!

We look forward to celebrating you!
