International Student Graduation Cord Pick-Up

The International Center is excited to celebrate the academic achievement of our international graduates this May with an International Student Graduation Cord! The International Student Graduation Cord is an initiative to showcase the broad impact of international students at U-M. These blue and green cords are intended to bring visibility to the significant contributions of international students both in and out of the classroom. There is no charge for the graduation cord.

Cords are available to any graduating student participating in the May 2026 ceremonies.  International graduates can pick up their cord at the International Center the week of April 27. Official pickup times are listed under the event. If you miss your pick up slot, you do not need to re-register, just show up at the next available time! 

Exchange students and scholars are not eligible for graduation cords.
