Due to the continued spread of the COVID-19 virus and the public health recommendations that come with it, Arizona State University will be celebrating with its graduates in the 2021 Spring University Commencement and convocation events in virtual, online ceremonies. The format may be different, but our enthusiasm for celebration has never been more inspired and we encourage you to join us in honoring ASU graduate and undergraduate students on Monday, May 3. Planning is underway. For more details, please check back here for updates and additional information about online activities. Commencement FAQ page

After the Ceremony
Be advised: Multiple convocation ceremonies will take place December 10 - 12 on all campuses. If you attend a convocation ceremony on the Tempe campus and plan to enjoy campus or to visit the surrounding area afterward, please move your car to a location outside of Lot 59 (Wells Fargo Arena) or Lot 3 (ASU Gammage Auditorium). This will allow other families and friends attending other events at these locations to find convenient parking.
