About Commencement
Graduates do not need to register and they may invite an unlimited number of guests. Tickets are not required for the commencement ceremonies.
During each ceremony, graduates will walk across the stage in Holmes Convocation Center, have their names announced and be professionally photographed receiving their diploma covers. App State Chancellor Sheri Everts will confer degrees upon graduates at each ceremony.
- Each ceremony will last approximately 90 minutes.
- The university follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for COVID-19 safety. Face coverings are required for all attendees, and will be supplied to all graduates.
