Northwestern Changes Fall Commencement Location for Dec. 7 Ceremony

December 4, 2025

ALVA, Okla. -- Northwestern Oklahoma State University officials will move the fall commencement to the Fellers Family Auditorium in Herod Hall for the Dec. 7 ceremony, starting at 2:30 p.m.

Due to a broken water line, Percefull Fieldhouse experienced water damage and will no longer be used for the ceremony.

Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis in the auditorium, with live streaming in the Student Center Ranger Room, Ballroom and Education Center 109. Ushers will be staged throughout campus for guidance.

To allow time to reach overflow seating, guests should plan to arrive early. The auditorium and overflow rooms will open at 1:00 p.m. No seats may be saved in the auditorium.

Live streams will also be available on the Northwestern Facebook page and the Northwestern Athletics YouTube Channel.

A graduate reception will take place in the Student Center following the ceremony.
