Our commencement ceremonies will honor the mission and traditions of Canisius, and of course, appropriately celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of our graduates and honorees.  The ceremonies will include the commencement student speaker address, the conferral of honorary degrees and awards, formal degree conferral, and most importantly our graduates will cross the commencement stage in the company of their classmates to receive their degree. 

Each ceremony will be streamed live, allowing family and friends to join in the celebration from afar.

Additionally, Island Photography will be on hand to capture the moment each graduate crosses the stage. Photo proofs will be emailed to the graduate after graduation day. To ensure a smooth experience, we encourage all graduates to complete the "Selfie Check-in Registration" before Commencement Day. Graduates can find the registration information under the "Canisius Announcements" section of myCanisius.

For questions about applying for graduation contact Student Records and Financial Services at studentservices@canisius.edu. For questions regarding the Ceremony, please email commencement@canisius.edu.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
