Congratulations, USV graduates!
We are delighted to honor the newest class of USV graduates. This year's experience will be split into two opportunities: Livestream or in-person.
The livestream begin at 11:00 AM PDT on Sunday, April 23rd.
Commencement rehearsal will take place on campus on Friday, April 21st in the Dragons Den from 12:00pm - 3:00pm.
If you have questions about your Graduation Application or your remaining units, please contact the Registrar, Angela Acuna (aacuna@usv.edu or 408-498-5133).
For questions about the ceremony or rehearsal, please contact Carolus Brown, Dean of Students at cbrown@usv.edu or 408-498-5137.
Every attending graduate may reserve up to 5 guest tickets. A waitlist is available for up to 5 additional guest tickets (max of 10, excluding graduate). Waitlist tickets are not guaranteed and are dependent upon how many initial tickets are reserved. If you have a smaller family, we kindly request you limit your initial number of tickets so we can make more available to larger families.
For anyone not able to get a ticket, the event will be livestreamed.
Caps and Gowns will be available the week before commencement at the registrar's office on campus. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you pick-up your cap and gown in advance, so you have time to steam or iron it prior to the ceremony. While there will be a steamer available in each of the men's and women's dressing rooms, there will not be time or capacity for more than a handful of graduates.
