The May commencement ceremony will be held at 9:30 a.m and 2 p.m. Saturday, May 6, at the Expo Hall at the Florida State Fairgrounds.
Graduates from the Sykes College of Business and the College of Arts and Letters will participate in the 9:30 a.m. ceremony.
Graduates from the College of Social Sciences, Mathematics, and Education and the College of Natural and Health Sciences will participate in the 2 p.m. ceremony.

Family Communication Philosophy
While we understand family members and guests are excited to celebrate their student's achievements at commencement, we are only able to provide general information about the ceremony as opposed to student-specific information. Please visit the Student Affairs Family Communication Philosophy for more details.
