*Should weather conditions improve sufficiently, the College and the schools of Law, Nursing, and Public Health might wish to proceed with their outdoor diploma ceremonies. The deans will make this decision.

During outdoor ceremonies, if weather conditions deteriorate and become unsafe, the ceremonies will be abbreviated. Ushers and safety marshals will direct guests to exits and safe shelter. Students will be informed about where and how to obtain their diplomas.
