Modified Graduate Commencement Ceremony Instructions

Dear Graduating Master’s Degree Candidate,

We are writing to share important information regarding tomorrow’s Graduate Commencement Ceremony.

Due to the impending weather forecast, all preparations for the ceremony have been moved inside. Therefore, please report to Gill Gymnasium (Old Gill) at 9 a.m. with your cap, gown, and hood for robing/line up. Gill Gymnasium (Old Gill) is #6 on the campus map.

Please look for flags/signage indicating which entrance into Gill Gymnasium should be used. You will be directed to the appropriate table when you arrive to pick up your name/line-up card. Remember to listen to instructions given by the faculty marshals.

All umbrellas and rain gear should be given to guests prior to picking up your name/line-up card. These items will not be allowed to process with you into the ceremony.

Please note, these changes DO NOT affect your guests. Doors will still open to Gill Center at 9 a.m. (one hour prior to the start of the ceremony).

Additional details about Commencement can be found on the Commencement webpage.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
