May Ceremony Schedule
Fall 2023, spring 2024, and summer 2024 graduates will be celebrated on Friday, May
17 and Saturday, May 18, 2024 at the Mangrum Track and Field at Cal State San Marcos. The commencement schedule for each college is noted below.
Ceremonies are estimated to be two (2) hours long for the CHABSS ceremonies and about
an hour (1) long for the other the ceremonies. The recessional will lead graduates
to the end of the field (facing Craven Road and Lot B and Lot C), where they can meet their guests.
Tickets will be required for all guests and graduates will be required to have a gradpass.
A separate registration email was sent to all eligible graduates in April. Each graduate may bring eight (8) guests. There will be a standby line at each ceremony.
Standby does not guarantee admission into the venue for a particular ceremony, and
will be at a first-come, first-served basis. Standby line will be allowed to enter
the venue at the start of procession as long as the venue is not yet at capacity.
There will also be an alternate viewing area in the University Student Union Ballroom (second floor), where the ceremony will be livedstreamed.
Please make sure to read venue security information as well as disclaimers.
