We recognize graduating students by providing them with a congratulatory item. These items can be a cultural stole and/or a lavender cord.

 

We celebrate all graduating students and acknowledge the uniqueness and value each student brings to the Montana State University community.  

We recognize the achievements of our students and how they invest in their futures through hard work and personal growth. Graduation can mean so many things to each student as they draw from lessons, values, and tenets of their various backgrounds. 

The deadline to submit your request is April 11th, 2025.

Students graduating in Spring 2025 or Fall 2025 are encouraged to submit their request for an item below. 

For information on Graduation and MSU's Commencement Ceremony on May 9, 2025, see the Registrar.
