2024 Dual Ceremonies

Bachelor's and master's degree and advanced certificate graduates are combined during these ceremonies. View information on when students will graduate


Expanded Commencement Program to be available online

SUNY Fredonia seeks to integrate sustainability into all aspects of campus life, and we are committed to promoting environmental awareness and responsibility in institutional choices. As such, the campus will not print the full program for the Commencement ceremonies. Guests and graduates will receive a short guide to the ceremony as they arrive in Steele Hall, which will have a QR code to access the full program.


Volunteers

The 2024 Commencement Committee is looking for volunteers for either or both ceremonies. Students, Faculty and Staff who are interested in volunteering to assist in the celebration of our graduates may complete the online form. Any questions regarding volunteer opportunities should be directed to Registrar Scott Saunders via email
