UGIS Commencement Ceremony 2026
Monday, May 18th, 2026
2PM-4PM
Zellerbach Auditorium
ISF graduates participate in the UGIS Commencement Ceremony held in May each year. The departmental Undergraduate and Interdisciplinary Studies (UGIS) ceremony includes ISF, Media Studies, and American Studies majors. Students who graduated in Fall 2025 and who are graduating in Spring 2026, Summer 2026, and Fall 2026 are eligible to participate. ISF majors should meet with their ISF faculty advisor and the undergraduate major advisor, Michelle, well before the May ceremony to ensure they have met all of their major requirements for graduation. Students can confirm completion of all other degree requirements outside of the major with their College advisor.
This event is expected to sell out. Tickets will be limited and availability of tickets for purchase is not guaranteed. Students will be able to purchase no more than 4 guest tickets until tickets are sold out. Students will be required to authenticate via CalNet when purchasing tickets. Tickets for guests two years of age and under are free but are still required and are included in the 4 ticket maximum. More information about registration, tickets, etc. will be sent in early February and will be posted to the UGIS Commencement website. Please keep in mind the ceremony will be livestreamed and recorded with captioning. The recorded video will be posted to the UGIS Commencement website within 72 hours after the event.
