The iconic Fenway Park will once again host Northeastern University’s Boston commencement ceremonies, this time for the class of 2027.

The commencement exercises are set to take place on Saturday, May 8, with the graduate student ceremony to be held at 10 a.m. and the undergraduate student ceremony scheduled for 4 p.m. The event is pending approval from the city of Boston.

This year, undergraduate and graduate students from the College of Professional Studies are invited to participate in the ceremonies at Fenway Park, located a short distance from Northeastern’s Boston campus.

Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston’s Seaport neighborhood will host the commencements for the law school and Ph.D. graduates on Saturday, May 1. The event times will be announced at a later date.

Name recognition and stage-crossing events for each of the colleges will also occur at Leader Bank Pavilion from Sunday, May 2 through Friday, May 7. A full schedule will be shared in October.

The commencement schedule for Northeastern’s global university system will also be announced this fall.

This is the seventh year in a row that the Boston ceremonies have occurred at the historic ballpark. Each year, around 50,000 students, families and friends attend the commencement exercises.
