Coronavirus Ireland: Spring graduations cancelled at Dublin City University

Graduation celebrations will have to wait as Dublin City University has cancelled its upcoming ceremonies.

The college’s spring graduations were due to take place this month, but have been postponed for the safety of its students.

Students from multiple faculties were due to graduate on March 21, including those in engineering, computing, science and health courses.

The university communicated directly with its graduates earlier today.

A DCU spokesman said: “Following the careful consideration of a range of factors associated with the evolving COVID19 situation, both nationally and internationally, the university has decided to postpone the Spring graduation ceremonies that had been scheduled for March 21st.

“As this event would have involved significant travel for graduates and their families, the University considers that it is in the best interests of all concerned that this non-critical event is postponed.”
