College of Arts and Humanities Commencement

Welcome to the CAH Commencement page.

Our ceremony this year will be May 16, 2026 at the Save Mart Center. The processional will begin at 9:45am, with the ceremony beginning at 10:00am.

If you are a student from our College and wish to participate, please register using this link by Friday, May 1. If you are walking early, be sure to email me email me (Brenna Barks) at bbarks@mail.fresnostate.edu, so I can add you to my contact list.

Regalia (cap, gown, tassel, hoods for master's students) are available at the Kennel Bookstore. The College of Arts and Humanities stole is also available through the bookstore.

Our first Q&A sessions have taken place over Zoom, but a recording will go out via email the week of April 13. Another set of sessions will be set closer to the ceremony date. Be sure to look for future emails!

Make sure to register, purchase your regalia, and review the Save Mart Center's (SMC) security and entrance policies (and share these with your guests!).

If you have any questions, or need any accommodations, please just let me know. If your guests need accommodations, they can reach out to the SMC directly.

Looking forward to celebrating with you and your loved ones on May 16!

Sincerely,

Brenna
