Commencement @AUS
Commencement Ceremony: June 14, 2026 @ 2:00PM
You’ve finished your degree and are graduating: Congratulations! This page is created to share the information you need to make Commencement as smooth as possible. Please check back often for additional information and updates. Our annual Commencement ceremony brings together participants from all academic departments. Eligible participants will include anyone who graduated in the Summer of 2025 and anyone who expects to graduate prior to the Fall of 2026, and everyone in between.
Commencement will be held at Magnuson Park in The Hanger. There is plenty of free parking right next to the venue.
Graduation Application
Graduation (conferral of degrees) and Commencement are separate events.
- Commencement is a day of celebration, held once per year in June. In order to participate in Commencement, Students need to receive approval from their Faculty Advisor documented by successful submission of a Graduation Application.
- The Graduation Application must be submitted the quarter before the Student wishes to graduate and no later than the first month of their final quarter. The completed application will be reviewed by the Registrar’s Office who will then initiate the process for your degree completion, allowing you to graduate from the University. For more information and access to the intent to graduate form, visit our graduation information page.
Commencement Application/Tickets
Each student is guaranteed four tickets. Please indicate whether or not you will need your four (6) guaranteed tickets, or if you will only want 2 or 3 of your tickets. Each student may also be wait-listed for additional tickets on a first come first serve basis, up to 6 total tickets.
The registration application form will be available here in early March. We will also send it to you in an email at the same time.
