Commencement

Grab a bowl of popcorn and settle into you favorite comfy chair to watch the Purple Carpet show and 2026 Commencement ceremony.

View the 2026 Commencement program with the day’s schedule, ceremony details and graduate’s names.

Husky Stadium has several guidelines to ensure that everyone who attends Commencement is safe and has a great experience.

Still looking to join the celebration? Graduates, family members and friends who can’t attend the live ceremony in Husky Stadium can still participate through Virtual Seats.

If you are traveling to Seattle in June, we suggest booking your rooms and travel as early as possible.

In addition to the official Commencement ceremony at Husky Stadium, there are over 100 school, college, departmental, and student organization graduation celebrations.

The University’s International https://iss.washington.edu/invite-family/Student Services webpage provides information about inviting family members living outside the United States to visit our campus.

Graduation is a big deal and it’s time to celebrate. This page is a great place to start!

If you’re still trying to figure out what to do after graduation, don’t worry…many graduating seniors, both at UW and across the country, are in the same boat!
