You can register online for the Spring UGIS Commencement Ceremony if you graduated in prior fall semester or plan to graduate in spring, summer, or fall of the same year. For 2025, this means students who graduated in Fall 2024 or who plan to graduate in Spring 2025, Summer 2025, or Fall 2025.
To register, please click visit the For Graduates page to fill out your respective major Exit Survey and Commencement Registration Form. Please note that the exit survey portion is confidential. Spring 2025 commencement registration information will be updated in February 2025.
Participation in this or any commencement ceremony does not guarantee that you will officially graduate and receive your Bachelor’s degree.
Please note that participating in the 2025 commencement ceremony or “walking” is not the same as graduating (the official awarding of your B.A. degree). To graduate, your Expected Graduation Term (EGT) as listed on your Cal Central dashboard will need to be Fall 2024, Spring 2025, or Summer 2025, AND you will need to have completed all graduation requirements (university, college, campus, and major). Please check your Academic Progress Report (APR) on your Cal Central Dashboard and meet with your major advisor to be sure that you will have completed ALL requirements by the time you graduate. Note that you may participate in the ceremony on May 19th, yet not officially graduate till the end of the summer or fall semesters of 2025.
