Celebrating Graduates on May 10

Commencement Information
April 10, 2025

With a little more than a month left in the semester, it's time to celebrate our upcoming graduates and all they’ve accomplished during their time at UW-Stout. Your student can check their UW-Stout email for their ceremony details.

The 2025 Spring Commencement ceremonies will be on Saturday, May 10, at Johnson Fieldhouse:

  • 9:30 a.m.: College of Arts and Human Sciences
  • 1:30 p.m.: College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management
  • 5 p.m.: Graduate School

Undergraduate students will receive five tickets. No additional tickets will be available through the Commencement Office.

Doors will open 45 minutes prior to each ceremony. Seating is first-come, first-served. All guests for the undergraduate ceremony will need a ticket to enter Johnson Fieldhouse. Children 3 and under do not need a ticket. A remote viewing area is available on the second floor of the Memorial Student Center.

The ceremonies will be live-streamed and can be viewed on Stout's YouTube Commencement stream. Please see the Commencement FAQ page for more information.

Here are things your graduating student needs to know:

  • They can pick up their commencement tickets with their Stout ID card at the MSC Service Center, or they can also request their tickets be mailed by filling out this ticket request form.
  • They can purchase their cap and gown at Stoutfitters, our campus bookstore, or online through Herff Jones. Regalia is available at Stoutfitters until commencement day.
