Committee volunteers have been actively planning the morning and afternoon commencement ceremonies over the past several months. Candidates, guests, and volunteers agreed to attend and participate with the full understanding of guidelines and capacity parameters. To revise those parameters now would be extremely challenging. Therefore the number of guests remains four per candidate.

All candidates who have submitted their Graduation Application have received the Commencement Registration link.
Please review the Graduation website for information on purchasing your commencement regalia (cap, gown and tassel) from the UH West Oʻahu Bookstore.
Plans are subject to change depending on the status of the pandemic. To ensure you have the latest, most accurate information, please check this site regularly for updates.
