Pro Tips

Below are a few tips to help make sure you have a wonderful weekend.

  • Get your Baccalaureate and Commencement tickets from your graduate before Friday afternoon.
  • Arrive early to allow time for traffic and parking.
  • Arrange a meeting spot for family/friends to meet your graduate after the Commencement ceremony for pictures, etc.
  • Remind your graduate to eat breakfast (in case it’s hot, we don’t want anyone passing out).
  • Check the weather. The ceremony will remain outside unless we are experiencing severe weather. You may need a fan and sunscreen or you may need a rain poncho. 
  • Heels will sink in the grass. We highly recommend sandals or wedges. And, if the day or week has been rainy, rain boots would not be out of the question.
  • Grab a bottle of water on the way into Fisher Garden. 
  • Graduates will be seated by degree and last name, BA, BS, Masters.
  • There will be a photographer to capture your graduate’s photo when they receive their diploma so you can stay seated and enjoy the moment. 
  • If you are concerned about being outdoors, Blount Auditorium in Buckman Hall and the lobby of Burrow Hall are the closest locations and have easy access to restrooms, coffee, and water.
  • Make lunch reservations.
