Steps to Commencement


Commencement Ceremony Schedule

Ceremonies can last up to 2 hours depending on the number of students attending. Doors to the venue will open 1 hour before each ceremony start time. Each ceremony will be live streamed.

Students should instead arrive no later than 30 minutes before their ceremony start time and follow the instructions of the event staff to get checked in and seated inside of the venue before the ceremony start time. SJSU does not host rehearsals for students.
