Each of the University’s colleges and schools will host individual convocation ceremonies as a part of the Commencement celebration. Some departments within the larger colleges and schools may host individual ceremonies based on the size of their graduating class. All are listed below.
Graduates are recognized individually at the college and school convocations. This is their moment to shine as their name is called and they cross the stage to be congratulated by their deans.
At the University-Wide Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, May 10, 2025, deans of each college and school will recognize graduates as a group. Graduates will stand with their college or school as their dean certifies the completion of their degrees.
Questions regarding a college or school's event should be directed to the appropriate contact listed below or found here.
