Commencement is at 10:30 a.m. MT on Saturday, May 24, 2025 and will be held on Weigle Placita on the Santa Fe campus.

There is a limit of six guests per graduating student, due to space and capacity needs. For any questions, please write to sfcommencement(at)sjc.edu.

The ceremony will last approximately an hour and 15 minutes.

Commencement exercises will be held outside on Weigle Placita. Because of the intensity of the sun, we suggest that you wear sunscreen and/or sun protection. Water will be provided. The ceremony is rain or shine. In the event of extreme weather, the ceremony will be moved indoors where restrictions to guests and seating may be necessary.

There will be a light reception following the ceremony.

In the case of severe weather, the Commencement Ceremony will be moved from Weigle Placita to inside the Student Activities Center gym. All degree candidates will be notified via email by the Friday evening before the ceremony should such a decision be made. If the Severe Weather Plan is implemented, the number of guests of graduating students may be restricted in order to comply with indoor capacity needs. The event will be livestreamed and recorded for future viewing, so guests who cannot take part in the live event can access our virtual link, which will be posted at the top of this page.

All family, friends, faculty and graduates can use the InSight Foto photography website link to access, view, order prints, and download high and low resolution digital files directly to their devices. The link will be made available in this section a week after the May ceremony, so please check back for updates.
