Winter Commencement

Saturday, December 10, 2011
12:30 pm

Degree candidates should arrive at the ASUI-Kibbie Activity Center dressed in their regalia beginning at 11:30am for line-up procedures.  Behind the stage, undergraduates will locate their college, graduate students the College of Graduate Studies, and law students the College of Law.  College banners will be posted.  Locate the staff person(s) in charge and pickup your name card.  Note: Late arrivals will not receive a reader card or sit with their peers, making it difficult to cross the stage, so please arrive on time for line-up.

Guest seating is first-come, first serve; no tickets are required.  Live streaming video will be available online the day of the ceremony.

The President's Office will host a reception immediately following the ceremony.  Degree candidates, their families and friends, and faculty are all invited to come together on the main floor of the ASUI-Kibbie Activity Center.  Light refreshments and photo opportunities will be provided. 

Full academic apparel is required for participation in the ceremony, including cap, tassel, and gown (plus a hood for graduate and law students).   Eligible honor students will be notified and may pick up an honor cord to wear at the ceremony at the Office of the Registrar in the Student Union Building.

Lodging will be limited in December due to Washington State University Commencement being held the same day.  Family and friends are urged to make accommodations early.

Degree candidates or guests with disabilities may request assistance and more information.
