The Spring Commencement Ceremony is still planned to be held outside on the Alumni Green in one ceremony starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 2. In the event of inclement weather leading up to graduation day, the university has put together an Inclement Weather Plan that will consist of three ceremonies being held in the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts – those ceremonies will be starting at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m.
Reminder tickets will not be needed for the outdoor ceremony. A decision will be made by Wednesday, April 29 if inclement weather will move the Spring Commencement Ceremony inside. For this plan, each graduate will receive 4 tickets for their family and friends to attend the ceremony. Tickets will be distributed beginning Monday, April 13.
View the list below to find out which ceremony you will take part in if the Inclement Weather Plan is enacted.
