Parking
Graduates and guests can park in R11V. There will be an attendant in R11V at 12PM that day to make sure that only graduates, graduate families, and R11 Faculty Staff park in that lot up until 30 minutes after the graduation has started, then the attendant will stand down.
Ceremony protocol
There is not a limit on the number of guests each graduate is allowed. We recommend arriving by 1:30 pm at the latest! Come wearing your regalia, there is not a place to leave valuables. Only bring items that will fit in your pockets. Diplomas will be available for pickup at the graduation reception following the ceremony. For hooding, all grads (MS and PhD) will be hooded. Please make sure you have communicated to faculty that will hood you, so they know to order regalia.
