State directs UF, other public universities to plan alternative summer commencements

University of Florida
June 4, 2020

The State University System today directed Florida public universities to plan alternatives to in-person commencement ceremonies due to continued 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 or our regularly scheduled summer graduation weekend August 7-8 on campus. We are exploring options for the path forward and will share more details next week.
