COVID-19 Update: Commencement

COVID-19

4.20.20 — Northeastern University regrets that the spring law school commencement will not be held in person as initially planned. We understand that this decision comes with great disappointment to our graduates, their loved ones and the entire Northeastern community and we are working on how best to proceed. Recognizing the accomplishments of our graduates, and the time, work and sacrifice it took to successfully achieve them is paramount to this effort. Details will be shared as they become available. Communication to eligible graduates will be emailed to their NEU email address, and updates will be posted to the commencement website.

Virtual Celebration: While we cannot celebrate in person on the originally planned commencement date of May 21, the School of Law will hold a virtual celebration for the Class of 2020. Please check this page in mid-May for the link.
