What’s confirmed so far
ASU’s own registrar-sourced future-commencement-dates page confirms Spring 2027 University Commencement for Monday, May 10, 2027 — a real date pulled directly from the university’s official calendar, not projected from a prior year’s pattern.
Two ceremonies, one day
ASU’s recent pattern splits University Commencement into two separate events on the same day: a Graduate Commencement in the morning at Desert Financial Arena, and an Undergraduate Commencement in the evening at Mountain America Stadium. ASU hadn’t published the exact 2027 times as of this check — treat this as the likely structure, not a confirmed 2027 schedule, until ASU publishes it.
Commencement versus college convocations
Both Commencement ceremonies are large, shared events — they aren’t where individual names get called. ASU’s colleges and departments hold their own convocations separately, generally around the same date, where graduates are recognized individually.
