Spring 2024 and Summer 2024 Graduates
The commencement registration link has NOT yet been sent out, and will be sent to all eligible Spring 2024, Summer 2024, and Fall 2023 (that did not participate in the December 2023 commencement ceremonies) graduates via their @CSUSM email address by second week of April. It will be the graduate's resposibility to notify the commencement office (commencement@csusm.edu) prior to April 21, 11:59pm if they have not yet received their commencement registration link. Unable to communicate with the commencement office or register by the the April 21st deadline, may affect the graduate's ability to participate in the May 2024 commencement ceremony.
Applying to graduate and registering for commencement are two different processes. Graduates will receive communications on commencement based on the graduation term they have noted on their graduation application. All graduates must apply to graduate via their MyCSUSM account in order to receive communications from the commencement office. The commencement office will be sending out communications by the end of February/beginning of March regarding the May 2024 Commencement Ceremonies.
Graduates, to ensure that you are on track, please review the Graduate Checklist.
