• In case you missed the news, there will be two UC ceremonies. Click the button below to find out when your school is scheduled to participate.
• The tassel was worth the hassle. All graduating students who wish to participate in UC must register for tickets online—both for themselves and their guests. Everyone attending the ceremony, including graduates, must have a ticket to enter campus.
  • Undergraduates may reserve up to four (4) guest tickets
  • Graduate students may reserve up to two (2) guest tickets
• Registration will open on Wednesday, April 3. Outdoor seating for guests is limited, so make sure your application to graduate is submitted and you register for your tickets early. Once outdoor capacity is reached, indoor locations will be available.
  • Graduating students will receive an email with the registration link from their individual school in the coming weeks.

Each school holds a ceremony to celebrate its graduates. Get announced, walk across the stage, and give your family that once-in-a-lifetime photo! Visit your school page for more information.

All undergraduates are invited to participate in this multifaith ceremony on Sunday, May 12, at 10:00 a.m. Service highlights include student reflections from diverse faith traditions, musical performances, and a custom pin for all graduates who attend. Registration opens in March.
