2025 Commencement
After celebrating with our Fall 2025 graduates at in-person ceremonies on Nov. 22-23, we’re looking forward to celebrating again at Virtual Commencement on Dec. 13 at 3 p.m. ET. Pre-registration is required.
To view the 360-degree immersive experience on a television, please review our FAQ and practice with our demo video ahead of the virtual ceremony. Please use the exact ceremony link sent to registered graduates' SNHU email several days prior to ensure you are viewing the correct ceremony. The ceremony lasts 2 - 2.5 hours and can be streamed any time after it premieres on YouTube. You do not need a webcam or microphone as you will not be onscreen. Graduate names will be announced alphabetically by last name.
