Arrival

1. Please arrive 20-30 minutes before the ceremony to check in.
2. You will enter the Dee Events Center using the tunnel in the northwest corner of the building. 
3. Education staff will be at a table, with name cards in alphabetical order. Go to the appropriate line.
4. Pick up your pre-printed name card*, write your email address on the back.  The photographer will email your grad photo to that address.

6. Guides will lead the graduates into the arena of the Dee Events Center once the processional begins.
7. Masters Degree Candidates: During the processional, carry your hood neatly folded over your left arm.

*If you don’t have a pre-printed card, write your name/email on a blank card, not a big deal.
*If your name is difficult to pronounce, write it phonetically on your name card.
