Attention Class of 2013: Extra Commencement Tickets and other Commencement-related Information

1. As a result of increased safety measures, no backpacks or oversized bags will be permitted in The Daskalaskis Center during Commencement ceremonies. All bags will be subject to inspection by Security personnel prior to admittance.  Graduating seniors should share this information with family members who will be attending.
2. Graduating students can find their robing locations on the Commencement website. Graduates should report to their appropriate robing location 1 hour prior to the start of their ceremony.
