Act Now

You will receive a notification from IU Indianapolis Registrar and University Events regarding updating your degree name and address via the Student Center in preparation for graduation. The emails from IU Indianapolis will link directly to the page in your Student Center where you can update this information. Please note that the degree name is the name that will appear on your diploma that will be shipped to your home address (student home address in the Student Center), so please make sure you update both in the Student Center.

Do you need any accommodations for family or friends attending the Match Day celebration? Provide those by March 7 for special seating or interpreters, if needed.

Family hooders must wear full academic regalia and sit in a designated area near the stage, not in the general audience with other family and friends. Your submission will be reviewed to confirm their eligibility. You will be notified by mid-March with approval and instructions.

Match Day Celebration
Friday, March 21, 2025
11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
IU Indianapolis Campus Center, 420 University Blvd., Indianapolis
Parking at Vermont St. Garage, 1004 W. Vermont St.
Event will be livestreamed on IU School of Medicine Facebook page

Join your fellow classmates for all the anticipation and excitement as you open your red envelope to find out where you will be going for your residency!

To accommodate friends and family and because of space considerations, each student may invite up to three guests to accompany them on Match Day. The number of guests must be limited in order to adhere to venue capacity ordinances and accommodate all matching students. (Children two and under do not count toward your three guests, but be advised that strollers should remain in the lobby or along the edge of the room.)

To try to meet the anticipated requests for additional guests, students who are not attending or not bringing three guests may “share” their unused guests spots with classmates. Tickets will not be issued for Match Day. We trust that you all will make these arrangements amongst yourselves, and that you will abide by the Honor Code and only bring additional guests who are filling spots that a classmate will not be using.

To maximize the space for the Match Day Celebration, this is a standing event, similar to a reception. It is a very crowded, loud and chaotic celebration! Limited seating will be available for class members and guests who are unable to stand for the event. If you or guests need reserved seats, please request reservations by March 7.

Thank you for your understanding and for respecting the need to maintain a safe environment for all. We look forward to celebrating your residency matches as a school community on March 21.

Based on your class’s award nominations, decide which faculty and staff are most deserving of recognition!
