The University of Michigan held a special in-person graduation ceremony called the "Comeback Commencement" for the Class of 2020 on May 7, 2022, at 1 p.m. at Michigan Stadium. This event was organized because the original 2020 ceremony was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Doors opened at noon for the graduates and their guests.
For a typical spring commencement in more recent years like 2025, the ceremony was scheduled for May 3, with graduates arriving early in the morning and the ceremony starting at 10 a.m. at Michigan Stadium.
Thus, the original scheduled 2020 graduation ceremony did not happen in 2020 but was held as a delayed in-person event in May 2022.
