The Husky Commencement Experience

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. 

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.
