Spring 2026 Commencement Ceremony
Friday, May 8, 4:00 p.m. in the Penn State Beaver Fieldhouse
Physical tickets will not be issued. An RSVP link will be emailed to graduates in early February. Students who graduated in December 2025 will also be invited to participate in the May ceremony. If you need to update the information that you provided with your RSVP, please call 724-773-3789 or email [email protected].
Livestream
Those unable to attend are welcome to view the ceremony online. The livestream link will be posted here the day prior to the ceremony. You can view last year's ceremony here.
Commencement attire
Graduates should wear business or business casual attire under their gown. Caps and gowns should be purchased from the Penn State Beaver Bookstore. Bookstore pop-ups focused on graduation items will be held in the spring so you have an opportunity to purchase regalia in person. Please hang your gown for several days before commencement to help remove wrinkles.
Diplomas
Students should verify their address in LionPATH and update if necessary. Diplomas will be mailed four to six weeks after the ceremony. A Certified Electronic Diploma (CeDiploma) is also available.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Jen Dilts, Academic Program Coordinator, 724-773-3789, or Rachel Zughaib, Registrar, 724-773-3786.
