Commencement dates are set by the University Calendar Committee and will be published here a minimum of 12 months in advance.
All graduates will be assigned to participate in a ceremony based on their college or school. Graduates who wish to participate in Commencement must attend their assigned ceremony. We cannot accommodate any ceremony-change requests. Ceremony dates and times are typically announced approximately 3 months prior to the ceremonies.
Many departments also host departmental receptions during Commencement week, which may be scheduled as early as the Thursday before the published Commencement dates.
