Georgia State University reversed a decision to hold just one commencement a year and instead will continue to provide a fall ceremony, officials announced Tuesday.
The university decided earlier this year to eliminate the fall event to save money and because of scheduling concerns with the Georgia Dome. Fall graduates would have been invited to walk in the spring ceremony.
Students protested the decision and said that after spending thousands to earn a degree they were entitled to a graduation and shouldn't have to wait about five months to get one.
