The Divinity Baccalaureate Service and Hooding Ceremony, held in Duke Chapel, is a worship service which will feature a sermon by a Divinity faculty member and a service of investiture in which Divinity students are individually named and receive their academic hoods.
Tickets
The Divinity Baccalaureate is a ticketed event. Divinity graduates are responsible for registering for tickets with their NetID/password through the Duke Box office. Tickets are only available through the invitation of a graduate. Guests may not independently register to attend. Guests without tickets will be admitted (if space is available) after all ticketed guests have been admitted. There are also overflow rooms in the 00 level of the Westbrook building. If you are a family member or friend of a graduate, your graduate will have received extensive communication on this process. Please be in touch with your student with any questions prior to contacting event contacts.
