If you are a UC Riverside student who graduated Fall 2022 or are expected to graduate in Winter 2023 or Spring 2023, you are eligible to participate in the Class of 2023 Commencement. If you expect to graduate Summer 2023, you may be approved to participate if you submit your Summer graduation application by the early deadline (April 3-10, 2023, by 4PM). 

• Students who take their remaining coursework off campus in summer must first submit proof of enrollment to their major advisor to verify enrollment in order to be able to apply to participate in Commencement. 

Students who intend to complete graduation requirements in the Fall quarter after the Spring Commencement are not eligible to participate in that Spring’s Commencement ceremony.  Students who are not eligible to participate in the current Spring Commencement Ceremony will be eligible for a future ceremony based on their graduation term.

As passed by the Academic Senate, the Honors categories are based on the Spring graduating class: the highest 2% receive Highest Honors, the next 4% receive High Honors, and the next 10% receive Honors.  Only those students who have passed 60 or more UC units with letter grades will be considered for Honors.

Please remember that recognition of Honors at the Commencement Ceremony for Spring and Summer graduation candidates is based on unofficial data. The official determination (for transcript and diploma purposes) will be based upon the calculated grade point averages of the actual Spring graduates.

Official honors designations for students who graduated in Spring 2022 as well as those who will be graduating in Summer 2022, Fall 2022, and Winter 2023, are based on the grade point average cutoffs listed below. 

These cutoffs will also be used as the unofficial cutoffs for the Spring 2023 and Summer 2023 graduates.   The official grade point average cutoffs for the Spring 2023 and Summer 2023 graduates will be based on the calculated grade point averages of the actual Spring 2023 graduates and will be posted here around September 2023.

Your diploma will be mailed directly to you at the permanent address listed in R’Web. Please make sure this address is up-to-date! You can change your permanent address by clicking on the “Personal Information” icon in R’Web.

An email will be sent to your R’Mail account when your diploma has been shipped. This generally occurs 8-10 weeks after the quarter ends. Make sure that you forward your R’Mail to your personal email account so that you don’t miss the notice.

Diplomas will not be mailed if there is an outstanding financial balance due. Log in to R’Web to view any holds you may have, their description, and who to contact to resolve the hold.  In most cases, the office that placed the hold is the only one that can release it.  If you have questions, we recommend contacting that office directly.  Contact the Registrar’s Office once you have cleared your holds to have your diploma mailed.
