Fall 2018 Commencement

Scheduling Update for December 8:

Valdosta State University’s Fall 2018 Undergraduate Commencement ceremony has been rescheduled to 5:30 p.m. on December 8, following the announcement of a home football playoff game.

The Fall 2018 Undergraduate Commencement ceremony was previously scheduled for December 8 at 4:30 p.m. The start time of the commencement ceremony has been changed to 5:30 p.m. to accommodate traffic patterns, parking, staffing, and safety for both events.

Graduates are to report to their staging areas by 4 p.m., instead of 2 p.m. as previously communicated.

There are no changes to the Graduate Commencement Ceremony on Friday, December 7.
