Commencement will look different this year to keep our community safe. We will be holding several outdoor ceremonies on the Overcash Lawn on Central Campus Wednesday, May 12, and Thursday, May 13, to allow for social distancing. Additional ceremonies can be added for Friday, May 14, if necessary.

Graduates are encouraged to pick up their FREE cap and gown at the Central Campus College Bookstore as soon as possible.

For your safety, we will be requiring mask usage and providing free masks for graduates and guests. Each graduate will be able to invite two guests. Additional guests can watch our free online livestreams on Facebook and YouTube.

Check your student email for information on how to register for your guest tickets and sign up for your program’s time slot.
