Commencement
Frequently Asked Questions
1. When is Commencement?
See the Commencement main page for
the date and time of each college ceremony.
2. What time should I get there?
Report to the robing room no later than one
hour before the ceremony begins.
3. How do I order my cap and gown?
See the University Store's Web site for details about ordering caps and gowns.
4. How many tickets do I get for my ceremony and where do I get them?
Each graduate who orders a cap
and gown gets six tickets. They'll be in your Commencement
Instruction packet when you
pick up your cap and gown at the University Store, or when you receive your cap and gown in the mail.
5. Can I get extra tickets?
Attendance at each ceremony
is expected to be high and parking is limited. Requests for up to three additional commencement tickets will be processed in the University Store during cap and gown pick-up. Additional ticket requests will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Comfortable attire, especially
low-heeled shoes. Shorts and tennis shoes are not recommended.
Note: If you do not have proper academic regalia, you
cannot participate in Commencement ceremonies. If you already have
a cap and gown, you must obtain approval to wear them from appropriate
staff in the University Store. The University Store site provides more information.

Detailed instructions are provided on the directions, maps, and parking section on this Web site. In addition, maps and parking tags will be given to you when you pick up your cap
