Students will be able to buy caps and gowns, pick up Commencement parking permits and honors cords, take graduate portraits, purchase announcements and pre-order flowers and leis. Records and Registration office staff members will assist with last-minute records checks. Students also can join the Alumni & Friends Association, speak with Career Services representatives and get information about CSUCI master’s degree programs. Snacks, music, games and raffle prizes will be provided.

Graduating students can film a brief thank-you message to family and friends to be shown just before Commencement ceremonies begin on March 8 from 10 a.m. to noon and March 9 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Grand Salon.

While Grad Fest is designed for graduating students, those attending are welcome to bring children and other family members with them as needed.
