As health conditions in our community continue to improve, and consistent with recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we will no longer be requiring tickets or a four-person guest limit for each graduate.

For graduates and attendees who are not fully vaccinated, face masks will be required.
The Commencement Office will communicate further details to those who have registered in the final weeks leading up to the ceremonies. If you are a graduate who plans to attend Summer Commencement and did not register before the deadline of June 28, please email commencement@bsu.edu.
