As of March 16, Commencement and All-Class Reunions are canceled. Howard University will plan alternative graduation options for HU20. On March 15, the CDC issued recommendations that for the next 8 weeks, organizers cancel or post-pone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United States. Although the CDC states that this does not apply to the day to day operations of institutions of higher education, we do not consider commencement a day to day operation. Given that Howard’s Commencement activities garner crowds of thousands, and the numerous elders and children regularly in attendance, we will cancel the event to avoid the potential for additional virus spread which would be problematic.

This year, we are excited to welcome the Class of 2024 to our vibrant campus community through our virtual Accepted Student Day event. An on-campus event will not be held. We are confident that our program will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about our student support resources, interact with faculty, ask questions, and get a taste of Howard's culture before joining us in the fall.
 
Further details on our virtual Accepted Student Day event will be available by the end of this month. In the meantime, we invite you to log into your Accepted Student website to view all pertinent enrollment information. Through this site, you will be able to view your sample class schedules, explore potential career pathways, and utilize a helpful checklist tool to keep track of your next steps in the enrollment process. We also invite you to share what you would like to see during our virtual ASD event by utilizing the hashtags #HUASD #HU24.
