USF in-person spring commencement ceremonies will be hosted at Tropicana Field on the same day, but at different times.
The first ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 8 at 9 a.m. for graduates from the colleges of Behavioral and Community Sciences, Business, Education, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health.
The second ceremony will be held at 6:30 p.m. for graduates from the colleges of the Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Global Sustainability, Graduate Studies, Marine Science and The Arts and the Office of Undergraduate Studies
Students must indicate if they are attending their assigned ceremony by 11:59 p.m. April 16 by completing a survey, according to an email sent to graduates from the USF Commencement Office.
Failure to complete the survey will make students ineligible to attend. However, they will not be penalized for indicating “yes” and then not attending the ceremony. Students will not be allowed to switch ceremonies.
According to the email, students will be limited to two guests and all attendees must wear a face covering at all times.
Students will not be able to cross the stage, but they will have their names recognized at their seats. Academic regalia is required for participation and can be purchased at the USF Bookstore.
