Dear Faculty and Staff —

Planning is underway for the 2023 Commencement Ceremony! 

For your situational awareness, the 2023 Commencement Committee wanted to share an update regarding a previous email that was sent out to students about important graduation and Commencement information. To view this email announcement on the UIS website, please click here.

Students graduating in Fall 2022 or Spring 2023 must submit an online Graduation Application via Student Self-Service (https://apps.uillinois.edu/ - “Graduation” tab) by October 3, 2022 (Fall 2022) or February 17, 2023 (Spring 2023).  Students MUST be sure to verify that all curriculum information is listed accurately BEFORE submitting an online Graduation Application (including major, minor, concentration, etc.). 

For the 650 students who walked across the stage at the BOS Center Saturday to receive a diploma from the University of Illinois Springfield, graduation day had no shortage of anticipation and meaning.

A total of 1,129 students earned degrees from the University of Illinois Springfield at the conclusion of the spring semester on May 14, 2022, pending completion of university requirements.

Below you'll find a printable list of graduates' names and degrees listed by the city of residence on file with UIS Records and Registration at the time of graduation.
