Class of 2027: Save the date for San Francisco State University’s 126th Commencement! The ceremony will be held Friday, May 21, 2027, at Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. This is our 11th year celebrating graduates at the downtown ballpark, and we plan to welcome more than 30,000 graduates, family members and friends as we recognize this unforgettable milestone.

“This is my favorite day of the year. For thousands of students, it’s the culmination of years of hard work and the beginning of a new chapter in their lives,” said SFSU President Lynn Mahoney. “I can say confidently, SFSU elevates the lives of our graduates and their families. This year is bittersweet, as it’s my final Commencement as president of SFSU, but I look forward to watching your new journey unfold. I know it will be a bright one.”

The Commencement ceremony will start at 3 p.m., with doors opening at 1 p.m. 

Keep checking the SFSU Commencement website for updates! More information will be shared throughout the year as it becomes available. Follow SFSU on social media and tag your Commencement posts #SFSU2027.
