Commencement Ceremony
This year’s Ceremony will take place at the Credit Union 1 Arena at 2:00pm on Thursday, May 4th, 2023.
Eligibility
All spring 2023 graduates are eligible to participate in the ceremony.
Graduation vs. Commencement
There can oftentimes be confusion between Graduation and Commencement. For clarification, Commencement and Graduation are separate events. Graduation is the completion of all degree requirements as recorded on the official transcript. Commencement is the ceremony that celebrates the completion of a degree. To determine conferral dates please consult the UIC Registrar’s Office: http://registrar.uic.edu/student_records/diploma_faq.html
For those needing certification for exams, please note that University has several procedural steps that take additional time for completion. For this reason, please allow 4-6 weeks after the last day of class for final certification processing.
Tickets
Tickets are not required for guests. Due to limitation of available seating, however, we recommend that you do not invite more than 4-5 guests. Seats are available on a first come, first served basis.
