Ceremonies
The Commencement ceremony is a profound rite of passage, and the University commends you for your hard work and dedication to your academic studies.
We are truly proud to have such accomplished Ragin' Cajun alumni.
Whether you are participating in the ceremony or cheering your graduate on, there's a chance you'll have questions about where to go and what to do. We invite you, your friends, your family, and members of the community, so prepare and share the appropriate information with your family and guests to ensure that the final celebration is one you will cherish for a lifetime!
