International Guest Invitations

Graduating students may request documentation to assist with the issuing of visas for their guests to attend Commencement.

Families of international students could potentially experience difficulty obtaining visas to attend Commencement. Family members who will require US visa stamps must apply to a US embassy or consulate far in advance to complete the process in time. International students who will receive a November 2025, February 2026, or May 2026 degree may request the Office of Student Success send an invitation letter to their family; this letter may help support the granting of a visa.

To request a letter, please email the Office of Student Success at least three weeks before your family’s appointment with the embassy or consulate.

As a reminder, receiving a visa letter from our offices does not guarantee participation in Commencement. Graduating students are still required to register for Commencement to confirm their participation in the Diploma Awarding Ceremony and secure tickets for their guests.
