The commencement ceremony is the premier event during graduation season and involves Buffs from all colleges and schools—but commencement isn’t the only way you can celebrate graduation. Many colleges, schools, departments and programs hold individual recognition ceremonies. Start planning how you want to mark the occasion and make your graduation uniquely yours.

At these events, you may receive individual recognition as you cross the stage, receive your diploma cover and have an opportunity to take pictures in your regalia. It’s a great way to connect with fellow Buffs from your college, school or department in a setting smaller than commencement.

Most spring recognition ceremonies take place after the commencement ceremony. A full list of event dates and details will be shared here when available.
