Congratulations graduates! The Linguistics & Language Development Graduation Ceremony will be taking place as described below. Make sure to scroll to the bottom for regalia info. Note! This is for our departmental graduation, not the SJSU-wide commencement ceremony. As a graduate, you are able to attend either or both of the ceremonies. For info on the SJSU-wide Commencement ceremony, visit their webpage. If you plan to attend the Department’s Commencement Ceremony, please read below and bookmark this page for your records.
Date: May 15th, Friday
Time: 6:30 pm to 8:00pm
Location: Engineering 189 (On the 1st floor, facing the Spartan Bookstore). Parking in the SJSU garages is free on that day.
Light refreshments will be available for an hour before the ceremony as well as coffee and cake afterwards.
Graduation Tickets:
Graduating students will receive one free ticket for themselves. Tickets for friends and family will be $15.00 per person, and graduates will be able to buy up to four tickets (for a total of five with the free ticket). Tickets will be sold in-person at the Department’s front desk, cash only. Additional tickets are likely to become available in a couple weeks.

Regalia Info
LLD regalia consists of the following required items. See below for rental information.
LLD Gown Rentals:
Every year, the LLD dept. rents gowns and caps for considerably less than what they cost new. Cost is $30.00 for both a gown and cap. We also have a limited number of master’s hoods available for an additional $5.00. Note: We do not provide tassels for rental! Please purchase A WHITE TASSEL (Humanities undergraduate) or a BLACK TASSEL (Masters Program) yourself at the SJSU bookstore.
To rent, please visit Cookie Galvan in person at the front desk on 4th floor Clark.
