Rehearsal and Check In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are no rehearsals for commencement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undergraduates report to Wisdom Gym (Kinesiology building)<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduate students (doctoral\/masters) report to Campus Recreational Building<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All graduates report to assigned locations no less than 1 hour prior<\/strong> to their ceremony for processional assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No guests will be allowed in Wisdom Gym or Campus Rec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The processional will leave from Wisdom Gym\/Campus Rec to the EECU Center 15 minutes before the ceremony start time, so it is critical to arrive on time. The distance from Wisdom Gym\/Campus Rec to the EECU Center is two tenths of a mile. The processional will move at a brisk pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduates will be led to the EECU Center by student marshals. Once at the EECU Center, graduates will be seated on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Following the ceremony, all graduates will be led out of the EECU Center. Dismissal will be on the East side the EECU Center near the Champions entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Bring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Graduates should arrive at check-in dressed in regalia<\/a> (cap, gown, stoles, and cords). Masters and Doctoral students should bring their hoods to check in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Hurley has declared all commencement ceremonies a \u201ccasual celebration\u201d. We recommend clothing appropriate for forecasted temperatures to be worn under your gown. Clothing and shoes should be comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Not To Bring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do not bring purses, bags, etc. Leave those items in a locked vehicle or with a family member for safe keeping. Tarleton State University is not responsible for lost or stolen items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please remember graduates will assemble at Wisdom Gym\/Campus Rec and walk to the EECU Center for the ceremony, so carrying items will be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Please note: The clear bag policy will be enforced for all graduates and guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
