Ceremony Day
Commencement marks the moment years of study become a career in health sciences. Faculty and staff join families and friends to recognize each graduating class in person. Take pictures in your regalia and share them, tagging @LoganUniversity with #LoganUGrad. A digital version of the commencement program is published alongside the livestream so guests can follow the order of ceremony.
Awards Ceremony
Alongside commencement, Logan holds a graduation breakfast and awards ceremony recognizing academic achievement. A digital awards program is provided, and the ceremony is also made available to view.
Regalia Guide
Look your best when you cross the stage. Watch the video for your degree, then check that your regalia is complete well before ceremony day.
How to Wear Your Regalia

Guest Hooding Policy
Earning a doctorate or professional degree? You can invite a family member to hood you during the ceremony, with up to two guest hooders per graduate. Send your request at least eight weeks before commencement; every guest hooder needs official approval. Guest hooders wear business attire or military dress, not regalia. The full policy covers who qualifies and where to send your request.
Legacy Award
Did a parent, grandparent, sibling, child or spouse (step-relatives included) graduate from Logan before you enroll.ed? The Logan Legacy Award celebrates you both. You'll receive a white cord at the awards ceremony to wear with your regalia, and you and your alumni family member are both recognized in the Commencement Program. Apply at least eight weeks before graduation; the policy explains how.

Watch the Livestream
Logan streams its ceremonies for family, friends, faculty, and staff watching from anywhere. Return to this page on the stream day; a recording is posted afterward.
If the stream gives you trouble, work through these in order:
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Refresh your browser, more than once if the stream is buffering |
| 2 | Switch browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari are recommended |
| 3 | Check your internet connection; a weak signal degrades stream quality |
| 4 | If using Bluetooth audio, confirm the device is connected and no other device is competing |
