Masks are strongly encouraged on campus. If you or guests are experiencing symptoms or have tested positive for COVID-19, you will not be able to attend commencement.
Tunxis will hold its 51st Commencement on Wednesday, May 25 with an abbreviated in-person (rain date May 26) conferral on campus in regalia, with the opportunity to have a professional photo taken. Each graduate may bring up to 8 guests to the event.
All graduate candidates have received an email with request to RSVP for Commencement by May 6. The Records Office will send an email to each graduate with arrival time by May 10. If you did not receive your email with the time, please email Magaly Correa at [email protected].
Regalia will be available for all graduates at our Bookstore the first week of May up until the day of Commencement.
