Commencement at the University of Connecticut is a time of ceremony and pageantry, a time for marking academic achievements, and a time to begin the next step in life. Family and friends gather to witness the formal end to a student’s college years; faculty, staff and trustees join in the tradition of conferring degrees; and students participate in an annual rite that marks their individual accomplishments.

December 2023, May 2024, and August 2024 graduates will be invited to participate in their respective ceremony in May 2023. We invite graduating seniors to visit the Commencement 2024 website to find out more about the ways in which UConn will honor your accomplishments.
