2025 Commencement

Seattle Pacific University's Commencement 2025, June 6-7

*Special Note on Tickets*

Tickets will be required for Undergraduate Commencement for all guests, with a limit of 10 tickets per graduate. Graduates do not need a ticket. The tickets will be electronic, free of charge, and easily transferable via email or direct sharing with your guests. Tickets will be available online later this month on the SPU Commencement website.

For Ivy Cutting and Graduate Commencement, tickets will only be required for guests if the event is moved indoors due to inclement weather. Otherwise, tickets are not required.


Congratulations to all of you who will be graduating in June! 

The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Numbers 6:24–26.

Rain plan

The Rain Plan pertains only to graduation ceremonies that take place outdoors on campus (Ivy Cutting and Graduate Commencement).

The Rain Plan goes into effect only if there is a forecast for severe weather, including heavy rain and/or thunder and lightning. With such a forecast, SPU will send a Rain Plan notice via email to all registered graduating students, as well as to faculty and staff. If you do not receive this notice, you can assume the ceremonies will take place, as planned, outdoors. Please, however, plan for the weather. The ceremonies will take place outdoors even in light or moderate rain.
