What to know about Temple’s 2023 commencement

Graduation ceremonies will begin on May 5 and throughout the following weeks.

| ROBERT JOSEPH CRUZ / THE TEMPLE NEWS

This month, Temple will be holding its 136th commencement ceremony and more than a dozen individual school and college ceremonies for graduating students.

The university recently announced that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro will speak at the university-wide commencement ceremony on May 11 at the Liacouras Center.

Graduates can receive a maximum of four guest tickets for the university-wide event, but individual school and college ticket limitations vary.

Temple strongly encourages graduates and their guests to use public transportation or carpool due to traffic and full parking lots. Temple’s Parking Services has designated parking areas for each school and college, and each graduate will receive a complimentary parking pass with their graduation packet.

Guests can also use the Temple’s interactive map for building and parking locations, and to view the campus’ shuttle route that will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
