Parking is available as shown on the map on the General Information page.
Candidates and faculty should assemble under the tent on the west side of Aggie Gym. There will be signs posted directing candidates and faculty as to where they should line up. Commencement Assistants will also provide directions to candidates and their guests. These assistants will be identified by distinctive badges or shirts.
The Chair of each department will lead the department faculty and candidates across the platform. The last member of the faculty to cross the platform is designated the "faculty leader" and he/she will first present a card identifying the academic major to the reader at the microphone, and then conduct the candidates across the platform to receive their diplomas. If there is more than one major in the department, the faculty leader for the second major will follow the last graduate of the first major.
As faculty leave the platform, they will form a receiving line to the rear of the platform, where they will BRIEFLY congratulate graduates. Graduates and faculty will then return to their seats. Please accept the direction of the Commencement Assistants as they guide you back to your seats.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the President will dismiss participants. As the recessional music plays, the platform party will depart the platform and proceed back to their assembly area. The faculty and graduates will then follow the platform party back to assembly areas. All are then free to leave.
