You Did It!
All the achievements and important decisions you have made have led to this day. No matter the adversity or sacrifice, you accomplished your goal of graduating from the University of Northern Colorado. Congratulations!
The university’s December Commencement ceremonies will look a little different this year. UNC is hosting the university’s first ever virtual ceremony in accordance with public health guidelines that limit in-person gatherings.
As you look to the future, you’ll know that your time at UNC was well spent.
The memories and connections you made here will help carry you forward for the road
ahead.
The Ceremony
Each ceremony itself will be fully online. Remarks will be streamed the weekend of December 11-12 and student names will be displayed. Links for each virtual ceremony will be available here in December.
Additional Celebration Events
The planning team is reaching out across campus to involve faculty, staff and students in building a university-wide effort that celebrates the success of our students. Have an idea to enhance the student celebration? Reach out to events@unco.edu.
