The ceremony will be held in front of Evans Science Lab, on the Santa Fe campus on August 5 at 10:30 a.m.

Guest seating is available directly in front of Weigle Hall and on the grassy knoll next to Santa Fe Hall. The knoll will not have chairs, but there is shade available.

Students may bring a maximum of 5 guests, to attend the ceremony. For the Graduate Reception Dinner, students will only be permitted two guests. All guests must be RSVP’d in the following form for the reception dinner here.

The commencement ceremony will last approximately 50 minutes.

Because the ceremony will be held outside, we suggest that you wear sunscreen and/or sun protection. Water will be provided. The ceremony is rain or shine. In the event of extreme weather, the ceremony will be moved indoors where further restrictions to guests and seating will be necessary.

Parking is available at the Visitor Parking Lot (Lot A), in the Staff and Faculty Lot (Lot C), and in the larger lot behind Weigle Hall near Lot E (but not Lot E, proper.)
