Spring 2020 Commencement/Awarding of M.D. Degree
In response to the closure of university campuses throughout the state of South Carolina
and the transition to virtual delivery of curriculum through the end of spring semester, UofSC
President Bob Caslen announced that traditional May commencement ceremonies will be
postponed. The university is committed to and actively exploring options for rescheduled,
in-person ceremonies when it is safe to host them and will be planning experiences
for graduates to celebrate their achievements. This change will not impact the degree
completion status of those students who were scheduled to graduate in May.
