The celebration for the Class of 2024E will be held on Sunday, December 3, 2023 at 2:30 p.m. Although this event has some ceremonial aspects, it is primarily a celebration. 

Graduates of the class of 2024E are encouraged to participate in the formal May 2024 Commencement exercises if they have not already participated in a May Commencement ceremony and are eligible. 

For more information on walking in a May Commencement, please read the Policy on Walking in Commencement and contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@amherst.edu.

Stay in Touch!

All future student Commencement communications will be sent by e-mail to the Amherst College e-mail address account associated with the E graduate, even though the Es may have left campus. We ask that the Es continue to check their e-mail for upcoming events for the class, including:

• Swift Moore Teaching Award Nominations
• Online nominations for student speaker and Honorary Class Members
• Attendance and regalia information
• Senior Speak-Off
• Senior Assembly and Senior Dinner
• Commencement rehearsal

The Registrar’s Office reminds students that their U.S. Postal address should be kept up to date. During the academic year, the address of the student and their families can be updated by visiting ACData, e-mailing the Registrar's Office or by calling them at (413) 542-2226.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I participate in the 2024E Celebration and the May 2024 Commencement?

Each Amherst College graduate can participate in one commencement ceremony, so if a 2024E participated in the May 2023 Commencement ceremony they are eligible to participate in the 2024E Celebration in December but not the May 2024 Commencement. If a 2024E participates in the 2024E Celebration and has never participated in a May Commencement ceremony they are eligible to participate in the May 2024 Commencement.
