Etiquette

The commencement ceremony is a special event for all involved. It commemorates the completion of an educational goal by the graduate and allows family and friends to participate in a celebration of that completion. Please show respect for everyone who has come to share in the experience.

During the reading of graduate names, we ask graduates and their guests to be considerate in their applause so that all names are heard clearly and the ceremony is not disrupted.
Please remain for the entire ceremony.

Turn off or place your phone in silent mode to ensure that all guests may hear and enjoy the ceremony.
