Although we won’t be able to gather to celebrate in person, we will still recognize students’ accomplishments through a livestream ceremony and through the Share Your Story: #CFACGrad campaign. Graduates are encouraged to submit a photo, video or story that highlights their BYU education using the hashtag #CFACGrad. Our team will be looking for inspiring posts to highlight throughout the month of April and during graduation.

We will be celebrating our graduating seniors on our convocation webpage and through our college Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Because graduation ceremonies are virtual, caps and gowns are optional. However, you can still order your cap and gown for photos and to celebrate with family and friends.

Graduates in the College of Fine Arts and Communications will receive a tassel along with their diploma and diploma cover.

To receive these things, please make sure that your mailing address in BYU’s directory is up to date.
