Parking and Directions: Graduates, parents, and guests should park in Lot #1 or Lot #2
and enter the gates nearest these lots (Gate 4 is handicap accessible).
Parents: Upon entering, student ushers will have maps and can assist you in locating seats close to where the graduate will be seated. To assist you, they will need to know the name of the program in which the graduate is enrolled. There are no limits to the number of people who may attend, however seating is on a first-come, first served basis.
Graduates: For safety reasons, graduates may not put on robes until they arrive in the McLin Gym.

Graduates should begin making their way from McLin Gym to their seats no later than 6:40. Staff will be available to ensure graduates meet dress requirements outlined below before granting permission to enter the floor.
Graduates arriving after the ceremony begins will not be admitted onto the floor and thus will not participate in the ceremony.
