Grad Fair
You can pick up your regalia, student ticket, guest tickets and parking permits at Grad Fair, May 24-26, at the North Creek Events Center.

All you have to do is show up and we'll provide the fun atmosphere with music and a professional photographer who will be on hand to take cap-and-gown photos of you and your friends.

Lights, camera, action
When the big day arrives, Sunday, June 12, participants are advised to check in between noon and 1 p.m. at the Dempsey indoor practice facility next to the Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion on the UW Seattle campus.

Noted author, poet and screenwriter Sherman Alexie will deliver the commencement address.

The ceremony will be shown live on UWTV and streamed through the University’s website.

Best Day Ever
We expect the largest graduation ceremony to date with about 1,300 of the 1,800 spring grads from the Class of 2016 taking the diploma walk.

“We’re looking forward to making this the best day ever for graduates and their families,” says Lisa Walker, assistant director for events and marketing, who has been organizing UW Bothell commencement activities for 15 years.
