Each of the University’s colleges and schools will host individual convocation ceremonies as a part of the Commencement celebration. 

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 9, 2026, 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.
