Processional
Graduates will be seated on the arena floor by level (doctoral, master's, or bachelor's). Graduates will not necessarily be in order by college, alphabet, or honors designation.
Diploma Presentations
After degrees have been conferred, graduates will have their name called as they cross in front of the stage, shake hands with President Damphousse, and have their photo taken. Only graduates in attendance will have their name called and receive a diploma board. Official diplomas will be mailed after commencement.
Recessional
Following the Alma Mater, graduates will leave the arena floor using the staircase behind them and exit to Sewell Park. Graduates should plan to meet family and friends at a designated area outside of the University Events Center near Sewell Park.
