Important Dates
Virtual Commencement Ceremonies
Saturday, December 12, 2020
Due to the current impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Embry-Riddle Prescott campus will host Virtual Commencement ceremonies honoring all of the 2020 Spring, Summer and Fall graduates. For the safety of our graduates and their families, there will be no in-person participation. Ceremonies will be presented virtually on December 12th. Each graduate will be individually recognized during the events. We look forward to celebrating our students and their accomplishments.
Additional Virtual Commencement information can be found on our Frequently Asked Question page.
We will continue to monitor the CDC and government guidelines and will update the Graduation website page as the decisions regarding Spring 2021 ceremony are finalized. If an in-person ceremony can safely be held in Spring 2021, graduates from the Class of 2020 will be invited to participate.
