Final exam week
As a reminder, if the university should close during Monday through Thursday of final exam week, the exams scheduled on that day of closure would automatically move to Friday without affecting any other exam day.
Any rescheduled exam will take place at the same time and in the same place as originally scheduled. The complete final exam schedule can be found online.

Graduates who reserved their tickets by December 8, received a confirmation email which included a PDF version of their tickets. They are also able to access their tickets by clicking on the “My Tickets” tab at the top of ticket reservation website. Graduates can either print copies of their tickets or email them directly to their guests.
Graduates will be required to print a copy of their student admission ticket and bring it with them to commencement. The student admission tickets will be used to read student names during the ceremony. Registrar’s Office staff will be on hand to assist students who forget to bring their student admission ticket to commencement.
We do not have an allotment of extra tickets available for distribution outside of the tickets provided to graduates through the online ticket reservation system. Guests without tickets may view the ceremony on a large screen in 2028 Brown Hall.
The commencement ceremonies will be broadcast live on EduCABLE channel 5 and throughout the Kalamazoo viewing area by Charter Communications on Public Media Network's channel 99. You can also follow our graduates on Twitter using #WMUGrad.
