Helpful Tips for Graduates

  • On Commencement day, graduates should arrive at the East Campus Athletic Village lobby at 7 a.m. for check-in. There will be signs and volunteers at the line-up area to direct students.
  • Wear flat, comfortable shoes as you will be walking on grass for the Commencement Picnic. High heels should be avoided.
  • No backpacks or large bags are allowed at Commencement.
  • Only service animals specifically trained to assist a person with a disability are permitted on campus during Commencement. For the safety of your pet and all guests, please leave your pet at home.
  • Try to stay for the entire ceremony in order to be respectful to other graduates.
