Michigan State University will hold more than 50 limited-attendance outdoor graduation ceremonies for those graduating in the spring 2021 semester. A university-wide convocation will not be held as it has been in years prior.
All undergraduate ceremonies will take place at large parking lots on campus to allow for appropriate physical distancing, according to a university email. While in the typical graduation season, there are around 20 college and university ceremonies, this year, the more than 50 undergraduate college ceremonies will be broken up by student majors or alphabetically by last name.
