      Is there parking?
      Yes. Parking is free that day and abundant around the venue including spots for disability; S9 & S11 would be the closest lots.

      How early should I arrive?
      At least 15 minutes in advance.

      Are there tickets?
      No. You may bring as many guests as you like.

      Is there assigned seating?

      If I graduate in the summer or fall, may I attend?
      Yes. You may attend the spring commencement before or after your actual graduation.

      Yes. Undergraduates that have applied for spring graduation with advising will be supplied to us by the registrar’s office and included in the program.

      Will they call my name out?
