Per Chancellor Wilcox's announcement on April 21, 2020, the in-person Commencement ceremonies previously scheduled for May and June of this year will be postponed until they can be safely rescheduled, except for the School of Medicine which will have an online graduation ceremony for their M.D. graduates on May 29, 2020.

UC Riverside will be holding an online celebration for graduates and their families in June 2020. Additional information regarding these celebrations will be posted to the Commencement website as soon as it is available.

We will continue to follow guidelines established by the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention and abide by orders from California Governor Gavin Newsom and the Riverside County Public Health Officer before determining appropriate dates for the postponed in-person ceremonies. Information regarding those ceremonies will be communicated to graduating students and their families approximately 3 months prior to the ceremony dates, so that they can plan accordingly.

On April 1st, Riverside County extended the school closure order through at least June 19, 2020. Unfortunately, this will preclude any of our commencement exercises from taking place as currently scheduled and configured. While we share the disappointment of our students and their families, we appreciate the County's leadership and share their commitment to protect the health and safety of our community.

The Commencement working group will convene next week to review the current situation, discuss options, and submit recommendations to Chancellor Wilcox by April 15, 2020. Please check for updates on the Commencement website at: commencement.ucr.edu.
