Commencement

Spring Commencement 2013 

Each spring, we are excited to welcome Butler families to historic Hinkle Fieldhouse as we recognize the achievements of the graduating class. This year, the spring commencement ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 11, 2013.

Stage and Student View

Please explore the links on this page for a summary of the ceremony as well as detailed information on ordering student caps, gowns and hoods, requesting tickets, how to get here, where to park and important commencement events happening throughout the day. Concerned students should also take a few minutes to fill out the name pronunciation form to ensure that their names are read aloud correctly during the ceremony. 

Hinkle Fieldhouse is pleased to offer accessibility services to those with special needs, as well as a complimentary parking shuttle for your convenience.

In addition to a clearly marked temporary photo section in the stands to the west of the stage, a professional photographer will be at the ceremony. A DVD of the ceremony will be made available for purchase. A low resolution copy of the 2012 spring commencement ceremony video is posted online.
