UL Holding Fall Graduation Ceremonies Outdoors Dec. 8-9

The University of Louisiana will be holding fall graduation ceremonies outdoors next week.

Rather than holding the festivities in the Cajundome, graduates will take part in individual college commencement ceremonies, which will take place at different outdoor venues over two days to comply with COVID-19 restrictions.

This will "ensure the health and safety of attendees," the university announced on Tuesday.

There are a total of eight academic colleges at UL. Six of them will have individual ceremonies on Tuesday, December 8. The following day ceremonies for the remaining two academic colleges and the Graduate School will be held. They will take place at Cajun Field along with Lamson and Russo parks.

The schedule of ceremonies will be as follows:
