Commencement Schedules
According to UB's academic calendar, Commencement Weekend 2014 will take place Thursday, May 15 - Sunday, May 18. Due to the size of the graduating class, the University at Buffalo does not have one large common ceremony. Each school/college within UB has it's own degree conferral ceremony; the ceremony called University Commencement is specifically for undergraduates in the College of Arts & Sciences. We anticipate that the schedule of 2014 ceremonies will be finalized this fall; at that time, it will be posted here on this site.
