Commencement Spring 2022

You’re invited to be a part of the undergraduate Commencement Ceremony for the College of Health and Human Sciences, Sunday, May 15, 1 p.m. in Moby Arena (line-up for graduates at 12 p.m. in the Intramural Gym).

You may participate in Fall (December) or Spring (May) ceremonies, depending on availability, family and friends, and your preference to walk with your peers. We’ll be prepared for each graduating senior with the Anticipated Graduation Term for that semester’s commencement ceremony (Spring and Summer terms for Spring ceremony; Fall term for Fall ceremony). A name reader card will be pre-printed by the Registrar’s Office.

IMPORTANT: Students, you are responsible for setting the correct Anticipated Graduation Term, email, and mailing address in RAMweb. 

Considering participating in a ceremony before or after your Anticipated Graduation Term? To participate during a different semester (for example, walk in Fall before completing a Spring or Summer internship, or walking a semester later), please provide your contact information and fill out this form. Note that your name will appear on the program of your Anticipated Graduation Term in RAMweb.  Please consult with your adviser if you have any questions.

The College of Health and Human Sciences will require all guests to have tickets to attend commencement. Graduates do not need a ticket. Children under 3 years of age do not require a ticket, however, they must sit on another guest’s lap. 

On Wednesday, April 13, all  students whose anticipated graduation term, in RamWeb, is spring or summer 2022, or students whose term is NOT spring or summer 2022 (and submitted a Walk-Through Survey, by March 20) received a message from the CSU Ram Ticket Office.  Each graduate received 7 tickets.  All tickets will be issued digitally.
