This ceremony takes place at the beginning of each academic year and marks the moment when students are formally enrolled as members of the

Eastern Mennonite University community, signing the register of the university and enrolling in the institution.

Parents, families, and guests are cordially invited to attend this memorable event.

Matriculation serves as the ritual counterpart to the Baccalaureate Ceremony students will experience at the end of their time at EMU. The ceremony signals the joint commitment of the institution to the enrolling student and of the student to the mission and culture of the school.
