Commencement Ceremony

Commencement will be held outside on the Fultz Quad unless it rains. A decision will be made by 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 11, 2024, about the need to move indoors. You may visit www.lycoming.edu to find out the decision. The ceremony begins at 2:00 p.m. There is open seating for guests on the Fultz Quad. The ceremony takes place in an unshaded area of the Fultz Quad, so please dress accordingly for possible sunny, warm weather.

Commencement Tickets

Tickets will not be necessary. There is open seating on the Fultz Quad for an outdoor ceremony, and open seating in the Recreation Center should the ceremony be moved indoors due to inclement weather.
