Ohio State Postpones Spring Commencement Ceremony Due to Coronavirus Pandemic

Graduation is on hold.

Ohio State formally announced the postponement of its spring commencement ceremony on Tuesday morning in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The decision comes following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendation that no large events be scheduled over the next eight weeks.

No new date has been determined at this time, but the University expects to communicate new information later in March.

"Our preference is to reschedule for later this spring, but it is premature to select a new date at this time," Ohio State President Michael Drake said in a university-wide letter.
