To protect the health of our community, the University System of Georgia (USG) has directed that all USG institutions will not conduct graduation ceremonies this spring. We are creatively considering our other options to celebrate our spring graduates. Additional information will be posted as soon as it is available.

 

Future Ceremonies

Our Commencement dates are based on the academic calendar.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide ceremony dates more than two semesters in advance. Ceremony times are published within the first month of the current semester. To view the most current information on the academic calendar, view the calendars listed on the Registrar's Office website.
