All graduates are encouraged to participate in the University Commencement ceremony as the University of Utah commends this milestone achievement in students’ lives.
The University Commencement ceremony is a non-ticketed event and seating is first come, first served. It is suggested that guests be seated by 5:45 p.m. as the processional will begin at 6:00 p.m. and the program will follow at approximately 6:30 p.m. As you plan to attend University Commencement, please review the parking/transportation information and visit the Frequently Asked Questions webpage.
