Commencement
Bellarmine University is pleased to announce the May 2012 Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, May 12 at 12 o’clock p.m. at Knights Hall.
Bellarmine University Commencement is held in December for students completing their degree requirements in August or December and in May for students completing degree requirements at the end of the spring semester. Both Commencement ceremonies are held in Knights Hall on campus. A graduation rehearsal is held prior to Commencement.

Students are expected to check in and be in line for the processional at least 45-minutes prior to the beginning of Commencement ceremony. The rehearsal each semester is followed by an Alumni Welcome for new graduates. A Baccalaureate Mass is held in the spring for May graduates and their families at St. Agnes Church located at 1920 Newburg Road.
