Two ceremonies will be held for undergraduates and graduate/College of Continuing Studies students
When the 2017 Commencement plans were originally announced in September, one combined ceremony was planned for all Lawrenceville campus graduates. However, a decision has been made to now hold two ceremonies to provide the best possible experience for graduates and their guests. Two ceremonies will allow for more tickets to be distributed to each student and for more convenient parking.
The Undergraduate Ceremony will be held on May 12, 2017, at 11:30 a.m. and last approximately two hours. Arrival begins at 10:30 a.m.
The Graduate/College of Continuing Studies ceremony will be held on May 12, 2017, at 4 p.m. and last approximately 90 minutes. Arrival begins at 3 p.m.
Both ceremonies will be held at the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, N.J.
No changes have been made to the Westminster Choir College Commencement ceremony, which will still be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 13, 2017, in Princeton University Chapel.
