Some held them virtually.
A year later, colleges and universities have scheduled commencement ceremonies in person, virtually, drive in and drive through. In some cases, in-person events will be held over multiple days or multiple times in one day to reduce the number of people attending.
Some schools are either including the class of 2020 or holding separate events for them.
Some of the schools have plans to move outdoor ceremonies indoor if it rains. That could limit the number of people who may attend.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) â Dr. Michael Cackovic has treated his share of pregnant women. So when Republican lawmakers across the U.S. began passing bans on abortion at what they term âthe first detectable fetal heartbeat,â he was exasperated.
That s because at the point where advanced technology can detect that first flutter, as early as six weeks, the embryo isnât yet a fetus and it doesnât have a heart. An embryo is termed a fetus beginning in the 11th week of pregnancy, medical experts say.
âYou cannot hear this âflutter,â it is only seen on ultrasound,â said Cackovic, a maternal fetal medicine specialist at Ohio State Universityâs Wexner Medical Center, where some 5,300 babies are born each year.
