It’s graduation season at North Dakota State University. As you get ready to walk the stage at commencement, be sure to grab some graduation shots across campus to commemorate your time at NDSU.

To help capture your success and accomplishments, we’ve compiled a list of the best spots on campus to snap a photo on graduation day. We want the smiling faces of all our NDSU students and families to fill our Instagram feed, so be sure to tag us at @ndsu.official and use #NDSUGrad when posting.

Commencement ceremonies are scheduled for 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 15 at Sanford Health Athletic Complex.

NDSU GATES

The gates on the corner of 12th Ave N. and University Drive welcome students during their first week of classes. They’re also a great spot to take photos when you’re getting ready to graduate from NDSU.
