Graduation Information

Students at graduation

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! You are no doubt anticipating this milestone of achievement in your life. The goal of our graduation ceremony is to honor your achievement by putting you at the center of the event.


Graduation Applications

To graduate, a Graduation Application must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office by the deadlines set in the Academic Calendar for each semester. This is typically completed during the semester before you plan to graduate, but it is suggested to complete it two semesters prior to graduation. The applicant’s coursework will be audited and notification of any remaining coursework to be completed will be emailed to the student.


Commencement Information

The 2026 Commencement Ceremony will be held at Baxter Arena at 10:00 AM on Saturday, August 8th. Graduating students should check their Clarkson College email in early June for a message that contains information about the ceremony and regalia orders. Questions can be directed to [email protected].

In general, our commencement ceremony is in the Summer on the first Saturday after the semester ends. Check the Academic Calendar for the current year’s schedule. This is an all-college event for all graduating students throughout the academic year, fall through summer, and is our largest celebration! There is no limit to the number of people you can invite to attend.

The commencement ceremony will be livestreamed on the Clarkson College Facebook and YouTube pages.
