WVU releases 2025 Commencement ceremony information

Graduation Commencement

WVU graduates will be honored during Commencement Weekend, May 16-18. 

Graduates planning to participate in Commencement exercises must do two things — apply to graduate through the Office of the University Registrar in STAR, and register for ceremony participation with their school or college.

Students and parents are encouraged to check the graduation website often in the months and weeks leading up to Commencement Weekend where information will be added as more details are confirmed.

All ceremonies will take place at the Coliseum.
