Fall 2020 In-Person Commencement
Alabama State University is committed to offering candidates for graduation a safe and memorable in-person experience for Commencement this fall.
The University has decided to amend the date for Fall 2020 Commencement. As previously noted in the Reopening Guide, ALL classes will be conducted virtually for the remainder of the semester after November 20, 2020. This was done to ensure safety for all constituents after the Thanksgiving Holidays. Similarly, the University will now host the Fall 2020 Commencement Convocations on Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21.
The University will hold two commencement ceremonies on each day in the ASU Stadium to promote social distancing. These events will be ticketed. (Ticket Information is linked below under Additional Information)
Please know that Alabama State University is looking forward to celebrating the accomplishments of the Fall Class of 2020 with their invited, ticketed guests.
