College of Fine Arts Class of 2024!

Congratulations on starting your final semesters here at the University of Utah.  Though Commencement and Convocation seem in the future, there are things that we can share with you now to help you prepare.  Please check back regularly as we will update this page as more information becomes available.  As the semester progresses, you will see a lot more information on the site.  Here are some things we know at this time:

  • Be sure to apply for graduation!  You can do this on your Student page in CIS.  Information can also be found on the University Registrar's Graduation page.  Please register for graduation by the deadline for the semester that you plan to graduate.  The deadlines are as follows:

Spring 2024:  January 19, 2024

(If you have missed the Spring 2024 application deadline, still apply for graduation.  Applicants who get their information in by March 1, 2024 will still be included in the Commencement program.  Additional fees apply.)

Summer 2024:  May 22, 2024

Fall 2024: August 30, 2024

Before applying for graduation, it is highly encouraged that you meet with one of the CFA Academic Advisors to make sure graduation requirements will be met on time.  You may schedule a virtual or in-person appointment at createsuccess.utah.edu 

  • The College of Fine Arts Convocation Ceremony will take place on May 3 at 12pm.  The ceremony will take place in Kingsbury Hall in President's Circle.  Students that graduated in Summer or Fall 2023, or are planning to graduate in any semester in 2024 may participate. (Please note that this differs slightly from the University Commencement participation cutoffs)
  • The CFA Convocation is a ticketed event.  We do not know how many tickets each graduate will receive.  The number of tickets given is controlled by the venue and will determine the number of tickets offered to each graduate participating in the ceremony.  If you will not be registering for graduation by January 19, 2024 and want to participate in Convocation, please let your Department or School's Front Office know so that we can include you in the ticket distribution count.
  • Grad Fair will happen at the Campus Store from April 4-6, 2024 during their normal business hours.  Students will be able to order regalia (i.e. cap and gown) beginning March 1, 2024 on the Campus Store website.  The Grad Fair is an excellent time to purchase or pick up pre-ordered regalia, receive special savings on diploma frames, order custom announcements and class rings, and have photos taken by a professional photographer.  Mark your calendar now for this event.
