Procession and Line-Up

Graduates and faculty will assemble in the Library, in their caps and gowns, no later than 5 p.m. Once all the graduates have been assembled in the library, a faculty marshal will assist with the line-up by college and in alphabetical order.

The procession will begin promptly at 5:45 p.m. We will assume if a graduate is not in the procession line by 5 p.m., they are absent and their names will not be read during the ceremonies.

Since there will be no rehearsal for the procession, a faculty marshal will lead you in the procession to your seats.

The procession will proceed from the Library on the 2nd Floor to the back entrance of the Auditorium, using the stairways leading to the Portico.

Note
Follow line-up instructions. Carry your hood on your right arm; wear your cap tassel on the right side. Once you have been directed to your row and seat, remain standing until after the Invocation. Stand when your school is announced. Return to your seat by center aisle and remain standing until the last graduate from your college returns to his/her seat.
