We look forward to celebrating our graduating students at our Arts & Sciences recognition ceremonies in May.
Undergraduate Students
The College of Arts & Sciences Recognition Ceremony for undergraduate students will be held on Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 8:30 am on Francis Olympic Field. This is the ceremony where undergraduate Arts & Sciences students will be individually recognized and cross the stage.
Graduate Students
The Hooding and Recognition Ceremony for Arts & Sciences graduate students will be held on Friday, May 9, 2025, at 3 p.m. in Graham Chapel.
All Students and Families
Please note, WashU has some additional policies will be in place for the safety of our community during the recognition and commencement ceremonies. These policies will be updated and communicated from the University and from Arts & Sciences during the fall and spring semester. Before arriving on campus for the graduation ceremonies, all students, families and guests should make sure they are familiar with current policies, which will be posted on our website and circulated via email.
On Monday, May 12, the University will host the all-university Commencement Ceremony, where undergraduate and graduate students are recognized by school. If you have questions about the all-university Commencement ceremonies, please review the Commencement Office FAQ, or reach out to the Commencement Office directly at commencement@wustl.edu.
