Commencement Ceremony and Rehearsal

  • Rehearsal will be on Thursday, June 13th at 4:00 p.m. We will meet in the Student Recreation Center. You will pick up your three guest tickets, go through the entire process of lining up, walking on stage to receive your diploma to leaving the stage in Prosper Hall. If you are unable to attend rehearsal you may pick up your guest tickets on graduation day. Please arrive early.
  • On graduation day, graduates should arrive, dressed in cap and gown, by 10:30 a.m. to be ready for the ceremony at 12:00 p.m. You will meet in the gymnasium of the Student Recreation Center, to line up and prepare to enter the auditorium.
      • Doors will open at 11:00 am. Family members with tickets should plan to be seated by 11:45 a.m. Once the academic procession begins, late arrivals will be asked to wait until all the graduates have been seated, before proceeding into the auditorium. It is, therefore, advisable for guests to arrive well before the start of commencement.
      • Guests without tickets will be directed to the auditorium in Umpqua Hall or to the Performing Arts Center for overflow seating. The ceremony will be streamed live in these auditoriums.
      • The ceremony should end by 2:30 p.m. A reception will follow in Umpqua Hall.
      • If children become restless, families may take them to the Student Recreation lobby. Children must be under an adult’s supervision as child care is not provided.
      • Please request special accommodations before June 1 in order for us to meet your needs. A sign language interpreter will be available throughout the commencement ceremony. ADA parking will be available behind the Prosper, Sumner and Fairview Halls and Parking Lot 4.
      • We will be streaming the event live from our YouTube channel so that friends and family can watch from home.
