Spring 2021 Commencement ceremony will be held online

UND’s Spring 2021 Commencement ceremony, set for May 15, will be held online due to the ongoing pandemic.

The announcement is being made early to allow graduates and their families to plan accordingly.

Even though the UND commencement ceremonies will take place virtually, UND’s desire to celebrate and recognize the academic accomplishments of our graduates remains a priority.

The virtual commencement ceremonies will be posted online May 15, and will include links to  General Commencement for bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees; School of Medicine & Health Sciences Commencement; and School of Law Commencement. Each graduate will have a slide that includes their name, degree, and a submitted photo.

Students will later receive a graduation “Hawk Pack” with their diploma, printed program, and other items. Spring graduates are also invited to return to campus to participate in a future commencement.
