UL Lafayette Graduation Schedule for Spring 2025

(Lafayette, Louisiana) - Another semester is coming to an end, and The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is getting ready for commencement ceremonies to celebrate the end of, or maybe just one part of, their academic journey.

The Cajundome and Convention Center will once again host the events with plenty of traffic and parking to contend with over the weekend. Having been to multiple graduation ceremonies at the Cajundome over the years, it can be hard to navigate with the schedules which used to be back-to back, making for a 'complicated situation' for parking.

One nice change to the event has individual colleges hosting their own events to pass out degrees and diplomas in a more personal setting. Gone are the days of multiple colleges crowding in at the same time to celebrate.

Here's a look at the most recent video highlighting the graduates from Fall of 2024:
