Seating at Commencement
Commencement takes place in the stadium with open seating for guests in the bleacher sections of the stadium. No special tickets are required for stadium seating, and seating is on a first come, first served basis. Graduates sit in sections reserved for their School in the field areas in front of the stage. The order in which schools graduate will be conveyed to you at Commencement Rehearsal on Friday, May 22, 2009 at 12 noon in the Stadium.
Note: Special seating is reserved on the field level for individuals who require field-level seating because of age, illness or physical impairment. These individuals must be seated 30 minutes prior to Commencement, that is, no later than 9 am. At that point, the area becomes open seating. Please note that one or two family members may accompany the person with special needs; however, the rest of the family will need to sit in the stands.
