Graduates will receive information about their assigned seats on-site the morning of the ceremony. University staff will provide instructions.

We ask everyone to remain for the duration of the ceremony, which includes the official conferring of degrees.

Honors medal recipients will be notified if they have received a medal based on their final GPA. Medals will be on the chairs of graduates who have earned them.

A professional photographer will photograph each graduate after walking across the stage. Graduates will receive an email several days after commencement that invites them to purchase copies.

Mobile phones are permitted. However, please be courteous and silence your phone during the ceremony. Photography is not permitted on stage.

We expect the ceremony to finish by 4 p.m. Then, graduates will have the opportunity to take photos with family and friends.
