International Students
Due to international travel arrangements, international students are eligible to participate in commencement up to two years after their graduation term. To confirm eligibility, please contact the Office of the Registrar.
For guests who live outside of the United States and need proof of a student’s graduation in order to receive permission to visit, an official letter confirming student status and graduation date may be needed.
- The Office of International Affairs and the Registrar will no longer be providing invitation letters for graduating international students, who are able to compose a letter on their own with an attached academic certification document, which can be obtained from CougarNet.
For further information about how to support family visiting on a tourist visa, please contact the Office of International Affairs.
SIUE is also pleased to offer livestreaming and video of each ceremony.
