Earl Warren College Commencement

Earl Warren College's 2023 Commencement Ceremony will be held on Saturday, June 17 at 1:30-3:15pm (PDT).  

Congratulations Class of 2023!

 

Applying for Graduation

Graduation is when a student has completed all requirements and their degree has been officially posted to their academic record. Students must file a Degree and Diploma Application (DDA) to initiate this process at http://degree.ucsd.edu.

Commencement is the annual ceremony in which any student with senior standing (135 units) may choose to participate. Participation does not constitute official graduation from the University.  Learn more at commencement.ucsd.edu.

For more information about applying for graduation visit: http://warren.ucsd.edu/academics/graduation.html

Eligibility Criteria for Commencement

Graduates may participate during only one Commencement year but are permitted and encouraged to attend both All Campus Commencement and their college, graduate school, or graduate division ceremonies.

Registration for All Campus Commencement and undergraduate college commencements is open to eligible undergraduate students with 135 units by the end of winter 2023 who are completing their degree in fall 2022, winter 2023, spring 2023, summer 2023 or fall 2023.
