Virtual Ceremony

6 p.m., Thursday, May 27, 2021 | Link coming soon

Commencement is an important milestone for our students and our College, it is how we honor our students’ achievements in front of family, friends, and peers. With that in mind, and thanks to the progress of vaccinations and with continued guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health and the Governor’s Office, Dunwoody College is excited to announce that we will once again hold a traditional, in-person ceremony – with a few changes.

This year, Dunwoody will hold an outdoor ceremony at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at CHS Field in St. Paul. We chose an outdoor venue since it provided the safest way for us all to gather. We will be limiting guests to four per graduate. Wearing masks and social distancing will be mandatory.

For those who are not comfortable attending a large event in May, we will also be broadcasting a virtual ceremony at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 27. Students who will not be walking in the in-person ceremony will still be provided a cap, gown, and other commencement regalia.

In the event of a weather cancellation, we will proceed with the virtual event and re-schedule the in-person ceremony for another date.

Watch for ticketing information coming soon from the Registrar’s Office.
