Commencement ceremonies at the University of Alabama looked a great deal different for summer graduates as festivities kicked off on Friday, but that didn't stop students, families and the UA faculty from making the most of the situation.

Ceremonies will also be held on Saturday and Sunday, with each lasting approximately two hours.

Here are some of the scenes from Friday's ceremonies:
