Commencement

Post University will hold its 133rd commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2023 on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at the historic Palace Theater in downtown Waterbury. 

We were excited to host two separate ceremonies for our undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students, at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. ET. 

An announcement regarding which ceremony will award specific degrees will be made in early February 2023.  Graduates will be notified as to which ceremony is for their degree program. 

Post University will also livestream both ceremonies online for those who are not able to attend in-person.  The names of all graduates, whether in attendance or not, will be shown on-screen during the livestream broadcasts.

Guest Tickets

• Guest seating is limited in The Palace Theater.
