So basically..

UVU holds one graduation celebration a year at the end of Spring Semester This year it is April 26-27, 2012). There are two types of graduation ceremonies; commencement and convocation (explained below).

Commencement Thursday April 26th is the main ceremony where all graduates will meet together to participate in the formal processional. The President of UVU, Honorary Degree recipient(s), and a Valedictorian will speak.

CONVOCATION Friday April 27th UVU is divided into different colleges/schools. Students are assigned to a college/school according to their major. Each college/school holds their own ceremony which is called a convocation. During the convocation, the students will be recognized individually. A representative of the college/school will read each student's name, degree, and major as the student walks across the stage.

COST OF ATTENDING/PARTICIPATING

There is no cost to attend commencement and/or convocation. Parking is located in the UCCU Events Center parking lot. Due to limited seating and space, guests must remain in guest seating and will not be allowed in the graduate line-up or seating areas. In order to reduce the amount of distraction during this important event, the attendance of small children and babies is strongly discouraged. Please contact the student/graduate to verify the times and locations of the ceremonies in which they are participating.

Any additional questions comments or concerns feel free to call 801-863-8438 to speak to the Graduation office.
