After years of hard work and perseverance, you did it, Tar Heels! This is an exciting achievement, and the UNC-Chapel Hill social media team has a number of ways for you and your loved ones to celebrate. Don’t forget when you share your pride (and your cap and gown) on social media to use #UNCgrad.
Watch Carolina’s spring commencement via livestream
We are giving graduates the choice of joining us for a safe, outdoor, in-person ceremony or celebrating virtually. We will hold multiple in-person, ticketed ceremonies on May 14, 15 and 16 in Kenan Stadium. The ceremonies will be led by a small platform party and feature live and pre-recorded content.
We also know that some graduates prefer a virtual event. You can watch the livestream on https://commencement.unc.edu/.
