Hundreds of soon-to-be Washington State University graduates, alongside their families and friends, will be in Pullman later this week to attend the Fall 2025 Commencement Ceremony.

This year’s fall graduation event is taking place from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 6, at Beasley Coliseum. The event is free and open to the public, with doors opening at 8:30 a.m.

As was the case last year, event programs will be available via QR code, which will also be made available on the Commencement website the week of the event. Commencement falls under the university’s Clear Bag Policy, which limits the size and types of bags permissible inside Beasley Coliseum as a matter of safety.

For those unable to attend, the event will also be livestreamed online. Free shuttle service will run from the Lewis Alumni Center to Beasley Coliseum, with a detailed parking map (PDF) also available online.

Questions about this fall’s ceremony can be directed to the Commencement Office by calling 509-335-6674 or via email.
