Important Dates and Information for Graduates
Graduates and guests: Congratulations for attending Commencement 2025!
Guests will find seating in Seaview Hall (please arrive at least 15 minutes early). Guests can either get their tickets from the graduates who have picked them up earlier or at the ceremony in front of Seaview Hall. Guests that require ASL, please look for the section provided for this. Additionally, sections in front of bleachers will be provided for guests with mobility issues.
After each ceremony, graduates and their guests can go to nearby Brier Hall for a reception to take photos, have some refreshments, and meet college faculty, administration, and Board of Trustee members.

The ceremonies do not have official attire, and we highly suggest dressing in what makes you feel your best and most comfortable - business casual works, too. However, each student needs to wear a navy cap and gown, which can be purchased from the College Bookstore from Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Brier Hall. Graduates will pick up their caps, gowns, tassels, and honor cords prior to the event.
