Commencement:
Wednesday, May 20, 2020
Congratulations to all graduates of Columbia University School of the Arts. In light of COVID-19, we are in an unfortunate position to announce that this year's in-person graduation ceremonies have been cancelled. However, we are still dedicated to celebrating each of our graduate's extraordinary achievements.
The School of the Arts will offer a Virtual Class Day on May 20, 2020. Furthermore, University-wide Commencement will also be recorded and shared virtually on May 20. As Columbia Universtiy President Bollinger writes, "We still hope to have at some later time an in-person celebration, but it is, unfortunately, not possible at this moment to be more specific."
Please click here to read President Bollinger's full update on April 9, 2020.
More information will be announced soon. If you are a May 2020 graduate, please be sure to submit your application for degree or certificate in order to receive information about Commencement.
Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions.
