Commencement

Health-first mindset results in commencement cancellation

It is with much sadness and regret that we let you know we have decided to cancel the in-person commencement ceremonies scheduled at all of our campuses later this summer.

This is not a choice that any of us wanted to make. It was a decision not easily made nor quickly reached. But in consideration of the state’s COVID-19 guidelines for resuming group activities and our own abundance of caution in protecting the health and safety of the entire Cougar community, we feel it is the right decision.

Please join us in once again congratulating our 2020 spring semester graduates. They displayed an amazing fortitude and ability to adapt to challenging conditions.

We will continue to update this commencement page with any new details.

If we are able, WSU Spokane and all WSU campuses will encourage all 2020 graduates to attend a commencement ceremony in December 2020, in conjunction with the traditional Winter Commencement ceremonies that take place in Pullman.
