To honor and celebrate our graduating students, Eastern Kentucky University hosts two commencement ceremonies annually, one at the end of the fall semester in December, and one at the end of the spring semester in May. This site has information for students as they seek to apply to graduate, and as they prepare for the big day. This site also contains information for family and friends who wish to join their graduating student in celebration. Specific ceremony details are added as we get closer to the end of each semester.
