In addition to three in-person ceremonies, graduating Knights can celebrate their milestone achievement through three separate photo-ops on main campus.
About 3,900 degrees will be conferred during UCF’s Summer 2022 commencement. Held in the Addition Financial Arena, summer commencement includes three separate ceremonies held Aug. 5-6. There will also be several photo-ops available for graduates Aug. 1-8 across main campus.
For each of the ceremonies, graduates will dress in official UCF regalia, participate in the Pomp and Circumstance processional, and cross the commencement stage to receive their diploma.
Commencement Festivities
Held in the Addition Financial Arena, the spring commencement includes three separate and successive in-person ceremonies, taking place at 6 p.m., 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 5-6.
Each graduate will receive five commencement tickets. All guests, including children and infants, need a ticket for admission into the Addition Financial Arena. All graduates who have filed an intent to graduate will receive commencement ceremony tickets when they pick up their regalia packet.
Guests who do not have tickets may watch the live ceremony via a simulcast viewing in the FAIRWINDS Alumni Center and the Student Union. Ceremonies will also be livestreamed on UCF’s YouTube channel.
Commencement Photo-ops
Three different photo-ops on UCF’s main campus are available for students to their accomplishments. Student Government is also supplying students with an eco-friendly prop — biodegradable confetti packets. These packets are available for pick-up July 18-29 at the Student Government Office located in room 346 in the Student Union. Student Government will also have biodegradable confetti packets available for pick up at the UCF FAIRWINDS Alumni Center during guest ticket and reader card pick-up week, July 25-29.
The Reflecting Pond is one of the most iconic spots on campus for grad photos and this year the pond will have enhanced elements, such as flags on the lawn and black and gold balls in the water, Aug. 1- 8.
Graduating Knights will also be able to take photos in the FBC Mortgage Stadium 10 a.m.-5p.m. during Aug. 3-5. Please enter through Gate 17 to access the stadium.
On Thursday, Aug. 4, 3-7 p.m., summer graduates will be offered a photo-op — Grad Walk — within the Addition Financial Arena. This will be a first-come, first-served occasion for graduates and their well-wishers to take photos and videos on the ceremony stage. No pre-registration is required.
