Fall 2025 Graduates' Submission Deadline: January 12th, 2026 by 12:00 PM
Submission Platform Opens: November 11th, 2025
Please note: the above deadline is only for Fall 2025 Graduates.
Spring 2026 Graduates have a separate deadline: May 14th, 2026.
(Fall 2025 Graduates may not submit materials for the May 2026 deadline.)
Graduation Exhibit Overview
The Graduation Exhibit publicly showcases your most advanced work at the BAC. There are three components to the exhibit: 1) an online exhibit designed to share widely with friends and family, featuring graduates who successfully submitted all of the required materials by the deadline via the Submission Platform; 2) prominent, digital screens facing Newbury and Hereford Streets, showcasing correctly formatted Presentation Boards and Graduate Spotlights; 3) a physical exhibit of commends-winning boards only on display in the McCormick Gallery from May to September.
You can see past BAC Graduation Exhibits here and here.
Unlike Final Documents, which vary by program, your submission in the Graduation Exhibit is primarily a visual form of persuasion. Any accompanying text should serve as a supporting role to your visual representation rather than the other way around. We recommend that you aim for a ratio of roughly 90 percent images to 10 percent text.
1) What do I submit?
To accommodate the work of all BAC graduates, it is imperative that you read and carefully follow these guidelines. If you don't follow these instructions, your work may will not be accepted by the Submission Platform and therefore not be included in the exhibit either.
2) How do I submit my materials?
You will submit your materials via the Graduation Exhibit Submission Platform ← please click on this link starting November 11th, 2025 and you will be taken to a platform where you'll be able to upload your Grad Exhibit materials.
The Submission Platform opens on November 11th, 2025 – uploading Grad Exhibit materials will not be possible prior to that date. In turn, the Submission Platform will close once again after the 12:00 PM deadline on January 12th, 2026, barring further submissions.
Make sure you closely follow the Guidelines linked here, and at the top of this page, and you should experience a smooth submission process.
3) When and where will my materials be published?
The 2026 Graduation Exhibit will open at the McCormick Gallery on Thursday, May 21, 2026. December 2025 and May 2026 graduates will be featured together.
