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 11:59 PM on April 24.  Only one family hooder is permitted per student. Students will be notified whether your request can be accommodated by the Law School no later than May 7.  

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 (4 tickets are provided 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
