Graduating Seniors! For Graduates:
Make sure you’re graduating
It sounds logical but you’d be surprised how many people think they’re graduating but really aren’t. If you have any questions make sure you speak with your evaluator in the Registrar’s Office.
Purchase your cap and gown
Caps and gowns can be purchased through commencement at the Technical Services counter at the Bronco Bookstore.
Double check what time you walk and when to be there
Not everyone walks at the same time. Look up the schedule to see what time your college holds commencement.
Invite your family and friends
It’s a big deal. You’ve spent years waiting for this so make sure to invite all your family and friends. Tickets are not need but will be a first come, first serve seating arrangement. Check out the information below for guests.

Getting to the Commencement Site
The Quad Area venue used for all ceremonies is best accessed via Olive Lane using the walk way between Building 6 and Building 94. Simply follow the road up beside the Library. Be advised the walk to the Quad is slightly uphill. If it is more convenient to drop-off elderly guests or those with limited mobility, please notify the parking officer at the parking gate near the palm trees. She or he will let you through to drop-off your guests and then go park the car. However, in order to keep the area safe there will be no vehicular traffic past that gate after the ceremonies.
