Welcome to commencement

 

Commencement is your time to shine

University of Phoenix commencement ceremonies are specially designed to honor your achievements and mark the exciting milestone of reaching graduation.

We host virtual and in-person commencement ceremonies throughout the year. The in-person locations are carefully assessed and selected based on venue availability, appropriate space and suitability of destinations for eligible students and their families.

To stay up to date on confirmed locations and details for upcoming ceremonies, please make sure to check this page and keep an eye out for commencement emails from us.

As you know, even though we might think of today’s ceremony as an ending, the word commencement really means a beginning or a start."
