Celebrating you at graduation

Summer graduates are invited to participate in our ceremony the semester prior to or immediately following graduation from CU Boulder.
CU Boulder hosts one commencement ceremony in May to celebrate the academic year’s class of graduates. Whether graduating in the fall, spring or summer semester, students are encouraged to participate in the commencement ceremony.
If you have questions about graduating, please reach out to your advisor.
