What is COMMENCEMENT?

Commencement is the large, university-wide celebration where all University of Arizona graduates are recognized together as a college. During this ceremony, graduates are acknowledged collectively and are not called individually by name.

Attendance is not required, but it is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate this milestone as part of the broader Wildcat community.
