Guest Information
We look forward to welcoming you to campus to celebrate your graduate. We encourage you to regularly check this website as event plans could change at any time based on the pandemic and changes in safety protocols.
We know there will be many who cannot travel due to the pandemic. We will be sharing a livestream on the Vanderbilt University website homepage so you can watch the ceremony in real time and still be a part of the celebration. Recordings of the events will be available to watch after the live ceremonies.
Class of 2020 graduates and guests of both Commencement ceremonies must review the university’s Campus Visitors Acknowledgment before arriving on campus. Campus buildings will be closed to the Class of 2020 and to guests of all ceremonies to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Below are links to important information for guests attending Commencement ceremonies in person:
