Congratulations, Class of 2020!
A Message from President Miaoulis
To members of the Class of 2020:
YOU are now a Roger Williams graduate. Congratulations and welcome to the family of alumni of Roger Williams University.
This weekend, the RWU Community – students, faculty and staff, in all the places we are – celebrates the Class of 2020, in small ways now, and we look forward to giving you the in-person Commencement ceremony you deserve at a later date.
Now, go change the world! And stay connected to each other and to Roger Williams. We can’t wait to have you back on campus next year for an amazing Commencement ceremony.
Sincerely,
Yannis Miaoulis
President, RWU

You can still have your cap & gown delivered directly to your home so you can mark this occasion with those that are close to you! If you’d like your cap & gown mailed to your home, please visit this website: https://rogerwilliams.shopoakhalli.com Your regalia is already paid for, you would just need to pay a $8.00 shipping and handling fee.
We know this cannot make up for the postponed ceremonies, but hopefully gives you the option to mark the occasion in your own way.
Cords and/or stoles are distributed by the respective program or department. Please contact your advisor for details on specific cords.
Please note: Keep your regalia in good condition and in a safe place. Students are responsible for replacing their lost or damaged regalia in their possession.
The campus is currently closed. Caps & gowns are shipped directly from the supplier. If you choose to not have your regalia shipped, you will need to pick it up the day before the new ceremony date. Stay tuned on that date.
Questions regarding cap & gown? Contact the Bookstore HERE.
Students’ honors will be calculated based on their cumulative GPAs at the end of their final semester. Honors tassels will be mailed to students’ addresses with their diploma covers in September. Please see the “Graduation with Honors” section under Academic Regulations and Policies in the Academic Catalog (click HERE) for questions regarding the calculation of honors.
Questions? Contact the Registrar's Office HERE.
The Registrar’s Office will begin conferring the degrees of May graduates in June, once all students have had the opportunity to choose the Pass/No Pass option for their Spring courses.
