FALL 2021 COMMENCEMENT

BGSU will host three in-person ceremonies this December to accommodate smaller groups of graduates with limited guest capacity. This is being done out of an abundance of caution to address COVID-19 challenges and uncertainty in the coming months. We ask graduates and guests to remain flexible and adaptable as we make decisions in the best interest of public health.

All ceremonies will be held inside the Stroh Center on the Bowling Green campus. Graduates will receive seven (7) electronic guest tickets. Graduates who wish to attend must fill out the RSVP form sent to their BGSU email. Learn more by visiting our Ceremony Information page. Ceremonies have been assigned by college as follows:
