California State University–Fullerton (CSUF) and University of California–Irvine have announced that they'll be holding limited in-person commencements for the classes of 2020 and 2021.

The announcement for CSUF came in an email from provost Carolyn Thomas, who told students and faculty on March 22 that the June ceremonies would be limited to graduates only, meaning friends and family could only watch their student cross the stage via live-stream.
