Overview
Update for Fall 2020 Commencement
The State University System of Florida directed all state universities, including the University of South Florida, to develop
alternate commencement ceremonies for the fall semester. This announcement means that
we will be holding a Virtual Commencement in December for our fall graduates. We are
disappointed that we will not be able to provide yet another semester’s graduates
with a traditional in-person celebration, but the safety of our students and their
loved ones, as well as our faculty and staff, must always come first.
The university’s promise of a traditional in-person Commencement that was given to
spring and summer 2020 graduates will continue to stay true, and will of course be
extended to our fall 2020 graduates. All of our affected students will be invited
to a future in-person ceremony, where they can have a traditional graduation celebration,
when it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Further information regarding the Fall 2020 Virtual Commencement will be released
in the coming weeks. Please be sure to continue to monitor your USF email and the
Commencement website for details.
