Traditions
The University of Toledo’s commencement ceremonies recognize candidates earning associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees from across our academic colleges. Historically, graduates and their families have gathered in Savage Arena on Main Campus for the fall ceremony and in spring for the larger university-wide celebration. These events bring together faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters to applaud the hard-earned success of the next generation of Rockets.
Our commencement traditions honor centuries of academic heritage while celebrating the unique journey of each Rocket. Learn more about academic regalia, tassel colors and academic achievement distinctions represented throughout the commencement ceremonies.
