Students will also have to complete the online registration form for commencement prior to May 2, 2025, to be eligible to participate in the Spring 2025 Commencement. To view your status and register for Commencement, log in to your Student Portal. If you have a special circumstance that you would like to have reviewed so you can participate in the Spring 2025 Commencement and/or you intend to carry a large course load in the final months of the spring trimester, please contact your Student Success Counselor as soon as possible to discuss your application for graduation and possible inclusion in the Spring Commencement ceremony.

• Latin honors for qualifying students who have completed their degrees will be automatically applied to student recognition slides. If you participate in the commencement ceremony prior to completion of your final class at CSU Global, Latin honors will not be added to your announcement but will be included on your official transcript and on your diploma when you complete your degree.
• Additional university honors societies may be listed if students provide them on their event registration form.

Your Commencement event registration information can be updated on the Student Portal through May 2, 2025. If you have any adjustments after May 2 through the day of the ceremony, please email commencement@csuglobal.edu and our staff will do their best to respond as promptly as possible. CHANGES/CORRECTIONS RECEIVED AFTER THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE ARE NOT GUARANTEED.

Due to the layout of the slides, we are unable to accommodate a specialization with the presentation of the degree. If you would like your specialization to be recognized, you have the option to include it as part of your personal message if your character limit permits.

We sincerely apologize for any errors. Please send your name, email, and degree program, as well as the correction, to commencement@csuglobal.edu so we can look into this. We will reply to your email with next steps.
