Commencement Week is an exciting time for the students graduating in the Class of 2012 as well as the entire Columbia community. The University Commencement ceremony will be held on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. on Morningside Campus. School ceremonies and events will take place from Sunday, May 13 through Thursday, May 17. For information on individual school ceremonies, visit the School Ceremonies and Baccalaureate section of this website.

Faculty and officers have the opportunity to participate in the festivities by marching in the academic procession at University Commencement or volunteering as an Event Host or Marshal for one or more of the ceremonies. Each faculty member or officer may also request up to two general admission tickets.

Seats on campus are reserved for ticket holders and degree candidates only. Staff and faculty who are not participating in the event are encouraged to enjoy the proceedings via our live webcast.
