Fall 2020 Commencement
Friday, December 11 at Great Southern Bank Arena
All ceremonies will be capped at 500 graduates. Each graduate can invite up to 6 guests. These limits are based on Great Southern Bank Arena capacity with current COVID-19 restrictions in place. We're asking graduates to follow these rules so everyone has the chance to celebrate with their guests.
Graduates from May and Summer 2020 may still attend the December 11 ceremony.
Ceremonies will not be ticketed, nor will guests be required to RSVP.
We look forward to celebrating with all of our #BearGrads.
