Arrival
- Please arrive 20-30 minutes before the ceremony to check in.
- You will enter the Dee Events Center using the tunnel in the northwest corner of the building.
- Education staff will be at a table, with name cards in alphabetical order. Go to the appropriate line.
- Pick up your pre-printed name card*, write your email address on the back. The photographer will email your grad photo to that address.
- Once you have your name card, you will form a single line in the tunnel with the other graduates from your department. Staff will be available to direct you.
- Guides will lead the graduates into the arena of the Dee Events Center once the processional begins.
- Masters Degree Candidates: During the processional, carry your hood neatly folded over your left arm.
*If you don’t have a pre-printed card, write your name/email on a blank card, not a big deal.
