For those graduates who are attending, please remember:
- Business attire should be worn for the convocation.
- Students should plan to arrive at Hilton Auditorium by 4:15 p.m. so they are in line on time to walk onto the floor of Hilton when the ceremony starts. Doors at Hilton will open at 4:00 p.m. Students and guests may want to plan for parking delays as the College of Human Sciences convocation ceremony will be taking place before ours in Hilton Coliseum.
- Please leave coats, purses, and other valuables with family or friends or in your car. There will be no place in Hilton or at your seat to store your belongings during the ceremony.
- Graduating students should check in at the northwest corner of Hilton to pick up your reader card. You will be instructed where to line-up (there will be postings as well by major). If you have a double major/degree, you can choose which major you would like to sit/cross the stage with.
- Students who attend the College of Business Convocation will be given a small gift as they cross the stage during the ceremony. Diplomas will not be handed out at the Business Convocation. They can be picked up in 210 Enrollment Services or mailed to you two or three weeks after graduation.
