Grad Checklist

 1. You Must Register to Participate in the Commencement Ceremony

•  All January - December 2025 graduates and students who intend to walk in the November ceremony must register for the event through their PMI Commencement 2025 portal.  Keep an eye on your PMI email for this announcement from our event planner, Tassel, in August.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Portal Opens: Monday, August 11, 2025

Portal Closes: Monday, September 8, 2025

• Once you are registered for the event you will then be able to claim up to four guest tickets and distribute as you wish.  

• Please note:  If there are extra tickets available after the portal closes in September, you will be notified by email of the details.

•  All guests must have a ticket in order to enter Linda Ronstadt Music Hall (LRMH).  Please  review all of the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall policies in  "Know Before You Go" .

• Children three years and older do require a ticket.

• There is a strict reentry policy for all guests. Again, please be certain to review the "Know Before You Go" policies.

• For more information about the commencement application process, please contact onlinegraduation@pmi.edu.

2. Your Cap and Gown

• All students and graduates who participate are required to wear their attire.

• All 2025 students and graduates have had the opportunity to order grad attire prior to their graduation date which is also your program completion date.

• You are encouraged to order your attire even if you choose not to walk at the in-person ceremony. There is no extra charge - after all, you earned it! 

• Please direct your attire questions to: csage@pmi.edu

3. Receive Your Diploma

Graduate diplomas are ordered by PMI Online administration and are mailed to each graduate's portal address within four to six weeks of  program completion date. Our diploma vendor, Parchment, will mail the diploma to the address the graduate provides in their student portal. If the address needs to be updated, the graduate must make any changes to their address in the student portal.  Again, your portal address is also the diploma mailing address. 

PLEASE NOTE: Diplomas will not be distributed at the commencement ceremony.

Parchment also provides diploma services for graduates in the form of digital diplomas. A digital diploma is an official, signed and certified PDF of your diploma. A link for the digital diploma is sent to your PMI email via Parchment within 24 hours of your program completion.
