LAFAYETTE, La – (KPEL-FM) – If you’ve ever tried to juggle work schedules, family travel, hotel bookings, and Cajundome traffic during graduation weekend, you know how quickly it can turn into a logistical puzzle. This fall, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette is making a notable change aimed at simplifying that experience.
UL Lafayette has officially set Fall 2025 Commencement as a single-day event, with ceremonies taking place on Friday, December 19, at the Cajundome. As you may imagine, combining all ceremonies into one day will create some issues regarding traffic, especially in the morning as people will also be heading to work around the same time.
Two Ceremonies, One Day
The new format breaks down like this:
9:00 a.m. Ceremony to include graduates from:
- College of the Arts
- B.I. Moody III College of Business Administration
- College of Engineering
- College of Nursing & Health Sciences
