King’s College Commencement
Summer Commencement
Please save the date for our Summer Commencement ceremony on Saturday, August 17, 2024.
Although smaller than our annual Spring Commencement, our summer ceremony celebrates Monarchs who have finished their bachelor’s and master’s degree programs. The event is held on campus at the William S. Scandlon Physical Education Center and is live streamed for those who cannot attend in person. Parking is available in all King’s College parking lots and on street.
Spring Commencement
King’s College holds an annual commencement ceremony each May to celebrate graduating Monarchs! Spring Commencement is held at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. and is live streamed for those who cannot attend in person!

Tickets
Tickets are not required for commencement. Graduates have reserved seating on the floor and will process into the arena/gymnasium in order of degrees awarded. Graduates must be on time, in line, and dressed in their academic regalia or they cannot participate in the graduate procession. For questions, please contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@kings.edu.
Parking
Student families and friends can park at the arena for Spring Commencement. King’s College faculty and staff attending or processing in the ceremony will have dedicated parking in the West Gate Lot until 12:30 p.m. Afterwards, the lot will be opened to the public. Faculty and staff must display their King’s College parking placard in their window and can pick up a parking pass from the Registrar’s Office. Vehicles with handicapped plates or hang tags can also park in the West Gate Lot. Please visit Mohegan Sun Arena’s website for more information.
Mohegan Sun Arena Policies
King’s College is required to follow the security directives of the Mohegan Sun Arena. Please refer to their Clear Bag Policy, which indicates which items are not permissible to bring inside, including purses, camera bags, and diaper bags. We encourage families to familiarize themselves with this information to make your entry into the Arena a quick and pleasant experience.
Photography and Video
King’s College hires Island Photography to take professional portraits of graduates as they receive their degree and as soon as they come off stage. Students will be provided with information about how to review proofs and purchase photos following the ceremony. Please note only professional photographers and media with appropriate credentials are allowed near the stage to take photographs or video. King’s College will record the live stream for archival purposes.
Who Can Participate
Participating in commencement activities does not automatically mean a student has graduated, as they must officially complete their degree requirements first. Generally, all students must have successfully completed their degree requirements and coursework by the end of the spring semester in May in order to participate in the spring ceremony.
