Columbia University tradition holds that all degrees are conferred at the University Commencement ceremony, while each school honors its graduates with a separate and unique event.

In this section you will find information on school graduation ceremonies, class days and receptions, as well as diploma pick-up times and locations.

Please note that these events are organized by each school individually. Thus, any questions that are not answered in this section should be directed to the contact listed for each school. Although this Web site is updated regularly, please confirm with your school all dates, times, and locations before making final plans, as some information may change.
