Guest Info
Welcome to Campus
There will be no tickets for the commencement ceremony. We DO need to know the number of guests per graduate for the purposes of setting up the football stadium and inclement weather location. Each participating graduate should indicate their guest count in the registration form.

As we get closer to Commencement, we will add a few things so loved ones can participate with you from afar.
