Commencement

Reaching a milestone.

Last updated on November 20, 2024. While some information has changed since it was first published, the date of the Commencement Ceremony itself has remained the same.

Join us to celebrate the Class of 2025 at Northland College’s 114th Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, May 24, 2025. Families and friends are welcome and invited to attend and celebrate together.

The Commencement Ceremony is an important milestone in the lives of our graduating seniors, and it is our hope that family and friends will share in this experience. One of the special qualities of Northland is the genuine friendship that students, faculty, and staff share.

Please continue to check this page for updates; more details about the festivities for the Class of 2025 will be available closer to the date of the Ceremony. All events are subject to change. If you have any questions, please email commencement@northland.edu.
