Commencement
This is an important milestone and we're so excited to celebrate this achievement with you.
2026 Commencement Announcement
Due to the high attendance of the 2025 Commencement Ceremony and capacity limitations of the stadium, the 2026 Commencement Ceremony will be held over two days instead of one.
Ceremonies will be held on June 10 and 11, 2026. The time of these ceremonies will be announced when confirmed.
Selecting a Date
When students complete the Intent to Graduate form they will receive a link to select the Commencement Ceremony date they would like to attend and how many guests they plan to invite. By holding two events, the college will be able to offer smaller and shorter ceremonies and an improved experience for our students.
Academic Affairs will work closely with faculty who may have planned to hold finals on these days to ensure graduating students can take their finals at another time. Academic Affairs will also work with the Divisions on faculty attendance requirements now that there are two ceremonies.
More Info to Come
Announcements and updates to the Commencement website will continue throughout 2026 to keep students and staff informed about these events.
