Class of 2020 Commencement Ceremony
Save the date! The University of West Georgia is pleased to announce we will host the Class of 2020 Commencement ceremonies on Saturday, Dec. 5, at University Stadium. Spring, summer and fall 2020 graduates were invited to attend and were required to RSVP by Nov. 9th.
The location is based on guidance from the Governor’s COVID-19 Task Force, the Georgia Department of Public Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which encourages outdoor spaces for larger public events like Commencement. A venue of University Stadium’s size will allow for appropriate physical distancing.
Students have been assigned a ceremony based on their college:
9:30 AM - College of Arts, Culture & Scientific Inquiry, Tanner Health System School of Nursing, and University College
1:00 PM - College of Education and College of Science & Mathematics
4:30 PM - College of Arts & Humanities, Richards College of Business, and College of Social Sciences
Students who are unsure of their college and assigned ceremony may use the Marching Student Ceremony Time Lookup Form to lookup their college and ceremony time.
Congrats Class of 2020
