The venue’s large-event security protocol will be enforced at all ceremonies.
Clear Bag Policy
Please follow the university’s clear bag policy when arriving for Commencement. See bag policy details.
Please note:
- One exception to the policy that is unique to Commencement is that personal cameras with detachable lenses smaller than 5 inches are permitted. Professional cameras and detachable lenses longer than 5 inches are not permitted.
- Alcohol will not be available for purchase, and alcoholic beverages are not permitted in the arena at any time during the Commencement weekend. If a graduate is found with alcohol on their person, they may be asked to leave.
Smoking, including e-cigarettes, is prohibited in and on all university property, including in private vehicles when parked or operated on university property.
Walk-through metal detectors will be in place and operational at all arena entrances. Please allow additional time for entry. Graduates will enter with their gowns unzipped, and all bags and persons are subject to search.
