If the weather is extreme, the ceremony will be switched to 1 p.m. Sunday, May 8, and students will be notified via their YSU email address and the YSU website.

YSU recently switched to an outdoor ceremony last year during COVID-19 restrictions, after a couple of virtual ceremonies. Prior to that, the ceremonies had been held inside at Beeghly Center.
