Celebrating this milestone
Doors to the Skydome open 90 minutes prior to each commencement ceremony, and parking will be available at multiple locations across campus with free shuttle service to and from designated parking lots. Early arrival is key to finding good parking and seating. Seating for your graduate will be “east seating” or “west seating.” Please note you may not bring air horns, balloons or large signs to the Skydome that may disturb or block others who are viewing the ceremony.
