Commencement is an exciting time on every university campus. At Illinois, it acknowledges our students' academic achievements and reaffirms the continuing vitality of the campus. The granting of baccalaureate and graduate degrees is celebrated through long-standing traditions, as well as reflections on the opportunities ahead.

Commencement Weekend will be held May 12-13, 2012. If you have questions after reading this material, please contact the Committee on Commencement at (217) 333-6814 or email the Commencement Office.

To each of our graduates, we hope you will participate in Commencement exercises as a way of sharing this great accomplishment with your fellow Illini, as well as with the families who have supported you on your journey to one of life's most significant milestones.
