COMMENCEMENT DAY - 9:30 a.m. Graduation Information

Candidates for graduation must report to the Large Sports Forum by 8:30 a.m. The Large Sports Forum is in the lower level of the Student Activity Center on the west side of the building. (An elevator is located in the SAC's main concourse across from the bowling center.) Immediately go to the "name card" table and tell the attendant your name and your degree. The attendant will give you a partially pre-printed card that is used by the readers to announce your name to the audience and by the professional photographer to mail your complimentary proof. You will need to complete a portion of the card, so arrive in time to complete this process.

Graduates will be lined up for the processional into the arena according to degree. You may sit with a graduating friend if you both are receiving the same degree. If you want to do that, tell one of the marshals who will then assist you. The processional enters the arena promptly at 9:30 a.m. so plan your time accordingly.

You will be given a commencement program as you line up for the procession. Programs are available for guests at the arena entrances. The approximate length of the ceremony is two hours and is not videotaped.
