New Student Convocation is the official welcome to all new students and their parents, signifying their entrance into the Trojan Family. The event marks the students’ entrance into our academic community, formally bestowing the rights, privileges and expectations to the Class of 2029, incoming transfer students, graduate students and doctoral candidates that begin in Fall of 2025.
Commencement - 2026 marks the 143rd Commencement for graduates of the University of Southern California.
Each academic school hosts their own ceremony. Each school’s ceremony is an opportunity for graduates to celebrate as a cohort group, hear remarks from a distinguished speaker related to their chosen disciplines, and walk across the stage to receive their diploma and congratulations from the platform party.
Fight On!
