Reserving convocation tickets for guests
Each student will receive up to seven tickets and will pass the tickets out directly to their invited guests. There is no charge for tickets.

Dress code
We suggest letting family members and guests know that it can be quite warm the day of the ceremony. That said, they should dress with weather and comfort in mind. Business casual attire – for example, dress pants and a shirt for men and a dress for women – is appropriate.

Photography etiquette
Friends and parents are welcome to take photos before or after the presentation of diplomas. During the presentation, a professional photographer will photograph your graduate, while families and guests are encouraged to relax in their seats.
