Graduate FAQs

Is there a limit to how many people I can invite?

No. There is plenty of seating and you may invite as many people as you like.

Do my guests need to RSVP for the ceremony?

No

Are tickets required for the ceremony?

No

Will concessions be available?

Concessions are not available at the ceremony. There are vending machines located on the lower level of Goggin by the skate shop. There will also be a reception for the graduates and their families immediately following the ceremony where light refreshments will be served.

Is the reception open to family and friends?

Yes

How can I secure my personal items during the ceremony?

It is important that you do not take purses, bags, or other personal items with you into the arena for the ceremony. The ceremony process often requires participants to be seated in a different area/seat after they receive their diploma. This means that personal belongings left at your original seat will be irretrievable until AFTER the ceremony. For your convenience, you may wish to use the lockers provided near the vending area at Goggin. The vending area is located near the skate shop on the lower level of Goggin, just outside the doors to the practice arena. There is a fifty-cent fee for each use.
