Doctoral Hooding Ceremony
Doctoral Graduates are invited to a special reception on Friday, January 30, 2026, on the main campus of Bellevue University. A Hooding Ceremony may be celebrated on Friday, January 30 (prior to the reception) OR Saturday, January 31 (during the commencement ceremony at the Mid-America Center), depending on the number of graduates participating.
Final details will be communicated closer to the event date.
Online Viewing Information
Bellevue University streams the commencement live so those who cannot attend still have an opportunity to watch their graduate walk across the stage. Additional streaming information will be posted closer to the ceremony.
The Doctoral Hooding will be available to view live via Zoom. A link will be sent to participants prior to the ceremony.
Both ceremonies will be recorded and available for viewing at the Bellevue University YouTube page. Recordings undergo some editing and should be available 7–10 days after the ceremony.
