Commencement is a cherished tradition at the University of Miami, and your special day will be here soon. Currently, with continued consultation from public health experts and University leadership, all ceremonies will be held on campus at the Watsco Center.
For those loved ones unable to attend in person, livestreams of all ceremonies will be available.
Candidates must apply for graduation in CaneLink by the Friday, October 11, 2024 deadline. The deadline to order cap and gown is Friday, October 11, 2024.
The Fall Commencement Ceremony held in December is intended for students completing their degree requirements in the fall semester. The Spring Commencement Ceremonies held in May are intended for students completing their degree requirements during the current spring or upcoming summer semester*. If you are unable to participate in Commencement during the appropriate semester due to other obligations and would like to walk at an earlier or later date, please contact the Office of Commencement directly at commencement@miami.edu or (305) 284-1824 for further instruction and to order your cap and gown.
*Please note there is NO summer commencement ceremony. Summer graduates should walk in the spring ceremony in May prior to degree completion, and apply to graduate via CaneLink during the spring semester.
Commencement is the celebration of your culmination as a University of Miami student.
