Xavier University Commencement Ceremonies Digital Collection
Xavier University Commencement is an annual ceremony that publicly recognizes candidates for graduation and confers degrees upon them. The commencement programs in this collection range from 1920 to the present. Programs for commencements prior to 1920 were often published in the University's Course Catalogs. The contents of the commencement programs vary by year, but often include information such as the names of graduates, lists of members of the stage party, and the order of ceremonies.
Commencement programs cannot be considered proof of graduation. The names and honors of graduates listed are for purposes of the commencement program and do not represent a final certification of graduation. Contact the Xavier University Registrar's Office for definitive information on graduation status.
