Many students are achieving great things at UNLV. Help us recognize these students by nominating an outstanding graduating student for recognition during commencement. The nomination period for the Spring 2026 Commencement ceremonies — set for Friday, May 15 (graduate) and Saturday, May 16 (undergraduate) — will open circa March.

Both undergraduate and graduate students can be nominated for outstanding academic or personal successes, including significant research work, academic performance, or community service. Students can also be nominated for achieving their academic goals while overcoming an obstacle in life.
