Dear Cal State LA Community:

Commencement at Cal State LA is always a joyous occasion for our graduates, their families and friends, and our University community, and we’re excited to continue the tradition this year at Commencement 2023. 

Our 10 college-based ceremonies will be held from May 22-26, 2023, and will again take place in Commencement Pavilion, a festive shaded structure that will be built in the event space on the north side of campus in Lot 5. You can experience the joy of Commencement 2022 in our video and photo galleries. 

During the ceremonies, graduates will be able to bring guests, have their names called, and cross the stage. Our ceremonies will also include hooding. The detailed schedule is now posted on the Commencement website.

Graduates will receive email notifications throughout the spring regarding Commencement-related activities and deadlines. 

 

 

The faculty and staff at Cal State LA would like to congratulate the Class of 2023! This includes the graduates of fall 2022 and winter 2023 and the projected graduates of spring 2023 and summer 2023.

 

You are eligible to participate in the 2023 Commencement ceremonies, scheduled from May 22 – 26, 2023, at the Commencement Pavilion, a festive shaded structure that will be built on the north side of campus in Lot 5. Watch the video above for a glimpse of the joy from last year’s celebration in Commencement Pavilion.
 



For projected spring 2023 and summer 2023 graduates, your eligibility to participate is dependent on your graduation application status for the current academic year. This information is updated regularly by the Graduation Office. Email GraduationOffice@cslanet.calstatela.edu with any questions.
 

 

There will be 10 college-based ceremonies held over five days. You will automatically be assigned to a ceremony based on your college, department, and major. The detailed schedule is now posted on the Commencement website. Each date lists the college, department, and majors assigned to each ceremony.

 

All graduates planning to participate in the in-person ceremonies must register in advance to attend.

 

From April 10, at 9 a.m. PT until April 28, at 5 p.m. PT, graduates can register to participate in Commencement and reserve guest tickets using MarchingOrder’s online ticketing platform. Graduates will receive an email to their @calstatela.edu email account on Monday, April 10, with the MarchingOrder registration link. 



The graduating candidate must register to participate and reserve guest tickets in a timely manner. After posted deadline dates, ticket allocation is no longer guaranteed and will depend on availability.
