Congratulations to you, the Class of 2021 in Columbia College, Columbia Engineering, General Studies and Barnard College! This registration page is for any graduating seniors of our undergraduate schools who would like to participate as graduates in our virtual ceremonies. Complementing our school- and University-wide ceremonies, these events provide a more intimate setting for students and guests to gather, incorporate meaningful cultural traditions and celebrate the specific contributions and achievements of their communities. 

Graduates must register by Sunday, March 21 in order to secure their multicultural graduation gift (e.g. stole, tassel, pin or other gift). The final deadline to register in order to be listed on the website and at the ceremonies is Wednesday, March 31.

We also encourage you to recognize the outstanding contributions of your fellow graduates through the Multicultural Affairs Graduation Cords. Deadline to nominate seniors in Columbia College, Columbia Engineering and General Studies is Sunday, March 14 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Honorees will be recognized at the virtual Multicultural Affairs Cord Ceremony on Friday, April 16 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.
