For All Graduates
When is the Certificate Graduation Ceremony?
This year’s Certificate Graduation Ceremony will be held on Monday, June 17, 2024 at Pauley Pavilion.
Am I getting my certificate during the ceremony?
No, you will not be receiving your physical certificate on stage on this day.

What is the Dress Code for Graduation?

UCLA graduation regalia may be purchased at the UCLA Bookstore, either in-person or online.
