53rd Commencement

Commencement is a special time of year when students, families, faculty, staff, alumni, trustees, and friends come together to celebrate the fruits of many years of hard work. Preparations are underway to say goodbye to the Class of 2026, and we look forward to celebrating this milestone with our community.

The 53rd Commencement ceremony will take place on the North Lawn of the College of the Atlantic campus on Saturday, June 6, at 2 p.m. EDT. Please use the Maps & Directions page to access our campus map.

Parking at the COA campus is limited, and we advise attendees to bike, walk, and rideshare to attend the commencement ceremony following our best sustainability practices.

Graduates are required to arrive earlier to take part in the class picture and line up for the procession. More information on senior arrival time to follow during the spring term.
