Dear Faculty and Staff,
You have played important roles in supporting our students throughout their journeys at UMBC, and so we hope you will join us in celebrating the Class of 2026 graduates and their families at the spring Commencement ceremonies.
- Graduate School Ceremony: Wednesday, May 20, 10 a.m.
- Undergraduate Ceremony (CAHSS, Erickson, Social Work): Thursday, May 21, 10 a.m.
- Undergraduate Ceremony (COEIT, CNMS, INDS): Thursday, May 21, 3 p.m.
Faculty and staff who wish to march in the procession should sign up and order their regalia as soon as possible. Those who wish to volunteer as event staff can sign up here.
In addition, if you or your immediate family member is graduating this spring, we can place your student's tickets in reserved seating closer to the stage. Please email us at commencement@umbc.edu to reserve your seats by May 15. Please note: This amenity is only for current UMBC faculty and staff members and is not for the general student body.
For more information and updates, please review our Commencement website or email commencement@umbc.edu.
We look forward to seeing you at the Commencement ceremonies!
UMBC Commencement Planning Team
