University-wide Commencement
Commencement is a tradition that marks the intersection of the past and the future. At The University of New Mexico, we thrive at this intersection, embracing our state’s vibrant culture founded on wisdom that has been handed down from our elders—part of a colorful legacy inherited from all those who have shaped the past, present, and future of this rugged, beautiful land. At the same time, we look to those same traditions that keep us connected to the lessons of the past as new inspiration for the forging of our future.
Commencements are only held at the end of the Spring and Fall semesters, please check back here after August 17 for more information about the Fall 2026 Commencement. Future Commencement dates lists tentative event dates that are currently planned.
