Commencement

Congratulations on reaching this incredible milestone! Each spring, UC Santa Cruz gathers to honor the achievements, dedication, and perseverance of our graduating students on the East Field.

Commencement is your moment to be recognized by name, cross the stage, and celebrate alongside your peers, family, and friends. The ceremony takes place outdoors—rain or shine—so guests are encouraged to dress comfortably and wear shoes suitable for grassy terrain.
