The following guidelines will be followed to ensure the success of the Class of 2020 commencement ceremonies and protect the health and safety of all involved.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Masks will be required for all attendees, regardless of vaccination status, inside the Ryan Center.<\/li>\n<li>Seating will be assigned through the Ryan Center Box Office for all guests.<\/li>\n<li>While many large campus events are now requiring proof of vaccination, the URI Class of 2020 Commencement ceremonies will <strong>not<\/strong> require proof of vaccination because the number of attendees does not exceed 35% of venue capacity, which allows for sufficient social distancing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Graduates must be pre-registered. They will be directed to a registration station upon arrival. The Commencement ceremonies will also be live-streamed and recorded for family and friends to view virtually.<\/p>\n<h2>Show Your Rhody Pride<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cl-tiles thirds\">\n<div><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/uri2020\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1303\/insta-card.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>#URI2020<\/h2><p>Use our hashtag and filters to celebrate and share.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">Share Your Moment<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/commencement\/y2020\/lawn-signs\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1303\/lawn-sign-card.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Lawn Signs<\/h2><p>Congratulate your URI graduate with a poster or lawn sign.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">Download and Print<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/commencement\/y2020\/cap-contest\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1303\/cap-contest-card.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Cap Contest<\/h2><p>Decorate your cap to show your creativity and win prizes.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">Cap it off<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, please be advised that plans are subject to change.
