Commencement

Commencement is a special day to all of us here at Carroll University. We come to work every day eager to help you meet your academic and career goals. Watching you walk across the stage is a joyful day for the entire Carroll community. The Carroll faculty and staff are here to help and support you.

So that we may recognize each student individually, there will be two graduation events: Friday, May 12, for Graduate Commencement and Saturday, May 13, for Undergraduate Commencement. Students can pick up rain-site tickets in the Campus Center near the first week of May to be used in case of inclement weather.

For guests who are unable to attend in person, a live stream link will be posted to this web page prior to the ceremony, and available On Demand following the ceremony.
