Step on the BU Seal: 2023 dates and times
Congratulations Class of 2023—you did it! You have reached an incredible milestone in your academic and personal journey and should be incredibly proud of your achievements. Commencement is a time to reflect on all of the hard work and dedication that you have put into your studies. But it’s also a time to celebrate the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. No matter where the next phase of your journey takes you, your BU Terrier family will be cheering you on every step of the way!
And speaking of steps… it’s finally time to take that last leap off the granite and onto black stone and bronze! After years of waiting (for most of you, we see you seal-steppers) you can now confidently step on the BU Seal.

What’s the deal with the BU Seal?
Legend has it, if you step on the BU Seal at the center of Marsh Plaza while still enrolled as a student you won’t graduate. No one knows when or who started this rumor, but we certainly don’t intend to take the chance to find out if it’s true!
