Bismarck, N.D. (AP) North Dakota's two largest universities are holding their winter commencement ceremonies.
The graduations are scheduled Friday at the Chester Fritz Auditorium on the University of North Dakota campus in Grand Forks, and in Festival Concert Hall at North Dakota State University in Fargo.
NDSU's ceremony is being held in the concert hall because the Fargodome is hosting a playoff football game and the Bison Sports Arena is being renovated.
About 900 UND students and about 1,100 NDSU students are eligible for degrees.
