The virtual ceremony will go live Friday, April 30th at 5 p.m. AKST.

Although not required for the virtual commencement, caps and gowns for your personal celebration along with photos can be ordered on the UAS Jostens website.

Diploma Information

Diplomas will be printed after final grades are processed and we have certified that your requirements are complete (approximately 4 weeks after the end of the semester). Students will have their diplomas mailed to the address provided on their graduation application.
