I am pleased to announce that the dates and locations for each of the 2024 Commencement ceremonies are now confirmed. 

The ceremonies for the master’s and bachelor’s degree candidates will take place June 17 and 18 at Toyota Arena in Ontario. 

The School of Medicine Hippocratic Oath Ceremony for M.D. degree recipients and the Graduate Division Hooding Ceremony for Ph.D. and M.F.A. degree candidates are scheduled for May 31 and June 1 at the Student Recreation Center. 

The Commencement schedule is now online at commencement.ucr.edu. Please be sure to save the dates. 

This marks the second consecutive year that our master’s and bachelor’s degree ceremonies will take place at Toyota Arena. Last year 6,000 graduates and 42,000 guests attended the celebrations. 

Additional information for graduates will be made available soon. 

We are thrilled to commemorate the achievements of our graduates and join their families and friends in celebrating their graduation.
