The Fairbanks campus' 95th graduation ceremony is slated for Saturday, May 6, at the Carlson Center. There will be no rehearsal, so it's important for graduates to come to the ceremony prepared.

To ensure graduation-related questions are addressed in advance, visit the UAF commencement 2017 site here and plan to attend one of the upcoming Graduation Information Sessions.

Sessions are scheduled in the Signers' Hall lobby at UAF:


  • March 30, from 1-3 p.m.

  • April 12, from 3-5 p.m.


A session will also take place at the UAF Community and Technical College lobby

  • April 18, from 4-6 p.m.


These one-on-one sessions are a great opportunity for prospective graduates to discuss honors, graduation status and more. Please share these details with the students you work with.
