King’s College Commencement

Summer Commencement

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.

Celebrate on Social Media

King’s College graduates can download our social media templates to post during Commencement Weekend!

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

Family and friends can park in any of the College's open parking lots or on street for Summer Commencement. Please refer to the Campus Map for lot locations.

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.
