The College of Idaho celebrated the Class of 2025 with an on-campus Commencement celebration on May 24, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., on the Quad at the center of campus with the steps of Boone Hall serving as the celebration stage. This ceremony was live-streamed on the College’s YouTube page for those unable to attend in person.
At the College, there are no tickets to attend Commencement exercises, and there is no assigned seating. Typically, the event is held outdoors, and we recommend coming prepared for the weather. We recommend arriving prior to 9:30am for optimal seating.
We encourage everyone involved to make this a positive experience for everyone and ask that students and guests show and treat everyone with respect and protect the integrity of our Commencement Ceremony.
The Registrar’s Office created an online repository of Commencement information. This information is primarily for students, but parents and other guests may find it helpful as well.
Other regalia adornment must be limited to the cap. Stipulations:
