Request to Hood

Only spouses, parents (not in-laws), immediate siblings (not in-laws), grandparents, aunts/uncles, and University-recognized domestic partners who have received a degree from the University of Chicago Law School are eligible to hood graduating students. Students wishing to have a family member hood them must submit an application by 5:00 PM on April 24.  

Only one family hooder request is permitted per student. 

Submission on this form does not guarantee approval. Students will be notified whether your request can be accommodated by the Law School no later than May 8.  

Note: Family hooders are asked to wear appropriate business attire as they will be seated on the Chancel at Rockefeller Chapel throughout the ceremony. Family hooders count toward a student's ticket count (up to 4 tickets are eligible for each student). 

You should receive a confirmation email once your form is submitted. If you do not receive a confirmation email within one hour of submission please email the Office of the Dean of Students at deanofstudents@law.uchicago.edu
