Our 2026 commencement ceremonies will be held on Saturday, May 16. Canisius will host both a morning and afternoon ceremony, each reflecting the University’s mission, traditions, and enduring commitment to celebrating the achievements of our graduates and honorees. Ceremonies will feature the student commencement address, the conferral of honorary degrees and awards, formal degree conferral, and, most importantly, the moment our graduates cross the stage with their classmates to receive their degrees.
Final details are currently being confirmed. Please check this site regularly for ceremony times, ticketing information, and additional updates as they become available.
