2025 Visa Request
The Office of Community Relations and University Events will provide letter(s) of support for students who wish to invite family member(s) living abroad to attend commencement ceremonies. The letters confirm the graduate’s student status, the date of the graduation ceremony, and request that the visa be granted so that guest(s) can attend the graduation. It is the graduate's responsibility to mail the letter(s) to their relative(s). Any questions about the visa process should be forwarded directly to the embassy closest to the relative's home address directly.
