UCA modifies commencement starting summer 2022

UCA Commencement

The University of Central Arkansas has altered the commencement ceremony calendar starting with the 2022-23 academic year. 

The university will continue to host three commencement days in August, December and May, but undergraduate students who complete degree requirements may only participate in a December or May ceremony. 

An undergraduate student who completes degree requirements in the summer term will still have the degree conferred in the summer term, but the student would participate in their choice of either the spring or the fall commencement ceremony of their graduation year. 

The Graduate School will continue to have a summer commencement ceremony in August for graduate students.

Students may contact the UCA Office of the Registrar for more information.
