Commencement
Spring 2020 Online Celebrations
On Thursday, June 4, 2020, the State University System directed that Florida public universities plan alternatives to in-person commencement ceremonies due to COVID-19 health guidelines limiting gatherings. We regret the disappointment and inconvenience this will cause for graduates and their families who looked forward to attending the University of Florida's rescheduled spring graduation weekend July 31- August 2 and August 7 on campus.
Rather than reschedule the spring ceremony weekend yet again only to face the possibility of cancellation, we want you to know two things:
1. We are committed to providing every graduate an opportunity to participate in a future in-person ceremony once we are able to safely resume our regularly scheduled ceremonies.
2. We will contact you once we are confident in-person ceremonies can resume.

We regret the disappointment and inconvenience this will cause for graduates and their families who looked forward to attending the University of Florida's summer graduation weekend August 7 & 8 on campus.
Rather than reschedule the summer ceremony weekend only to face the possibility of cancellation, we want you to know three things:
1. We plan to hold a Virtual Commencment Weekend on August 14 & 15. The full schedule for this weekend can be found on the Event Schedule page of our site.
2. We are committed to providing every graduate an opportunity to participate in a future in-person ceremony once we are able to safely resume our regularly scheduled commencement ceremonies.
3. We will contact you once we are confident in-person ceremonies can resume.
