Academic regalia (tam, hood, and gown all included in the purchased package) may be ordered from Oak Hall through May 1.

Each student will receive a box from PNWU with their graduation stole, commemorative tassel, diploma cover, any award certificates, alumni key chain and license plate cover, and a commencement program. A limited number of extra commencement programs are available. Request extra commencement programs by emailing your mailing address to Ann Acob, Executive Assistant to the Provost or call her at 509.249.7810.

As alumni, you will continue to have access to your pnwu.edu email indefinitely, however, PNWU must change the licensing on Office 365 to reflect your alumni status in June 2020 and this will cause you to lose access to other services from your school account like SharePoint and OneDrive. You may have been synchronizing files from your laptop up to OneDrive or perhaps you saved files within OneNote up to your personal SharePoint site. Any files you wish to keep must be saved to another location before PNWU makes the licensing change or you will permanently lose access to them. In addition, this change may affect the copy of Microsoft Office you have installed on your laptop or mobile device if it was downloaded from Office 365 or if it is using your PNWU account for licensing. 

You can access your current files by logging into Office 365 then select OneDrive. There are several options for free cloud storage where you can move your files, Microsoft’s OneDrive Personal  which includes 5GB and Google Drive  which includes 15GB.

The most important role for every member of the Alumni Association is to keep the University updated on your progress throughout residency and into your practice. The best way to keep us updated is by following the link to the Alumni Services webpage. Here, you can update your bio, and submit residency or practice information. 

Congratulations, you are in your final days of being a student doctor. Please review the information and contact Enrollment Services if you have questions, registrar@pnwu.edu or 509.249.7888.
