St. Cloud State University holds commencement ceremonies twice yearly, one after each fall and spring term. Graduates can participate in the ceremony that is best for themselves and their guests. They will indicate this information in their Graduation Application. 

Upcoming Commencements
May 2025: May 8 and 9, 2025

When will I know my ceremony time?
Ceremony times are determined and published after the graduation application deadline to provide graduates with the most amount of guest tickets with limited venue seating.

Upon applying for graduation, students have the option to register for commencement. 

We invite you to bring your loved ones to campus and proudly wear your regalia. SCSU administration, faculty, and staff look forward to recognizing your accomplishments as you join our alumni community, which includes more than 133,000 forever Huskies worldwide.
