Ceremony Details

Upon arrival, please sit within your department, which will be clearly labeled. Student ushers and university staff will be on the Crisler floor to help guide students to their designated seating areas. At your seat, you will have a name card and pencil. It is important that you clearly write your name and bring this card with you to the stage as it will be read during the conferral of degrees.

Selfies

We ask that you refrain from selfies as you walk across the stage during the conferral of degrees, not only in the interest of time but to maintain a sense of decorum.

Students are encouraged to take photos pre & post ceremony.

Selfies are OK– just not up on stage! Be respectful to your fellow graduate – plan to stay until everyone has had their moment in the spotlight.
