It's now or never. Just in case the pressure of finals and the excitement of Senior Week activities have kept you from reading our previous GradZone emails, what you need to know now for your Class Day ceremony is both below and on the Commencement Week app under the "Details" tab after selecting your ceremony. Stay tuned Tuesday evening for our "Need to know" summary of Commencement.
*SEAS Class Day: TONIGHT!*
Step one:
Grab your regalia and your CUID or, if you graduated in October or February, a photo ID. You cannot process without regalia. Pick it up from the Columbia Bookstore. Otherwise, bring as little with you as possible since there will be no storage or security for your items.
Step two:
Between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m., head to Roone Arledge Auditorium in Lerner Hall to check in. This is where you will pick up your name card, which you will give to the advising deans reading names just before you cross the stage. If you have requested but have not picked up your Commencement tickets at this point, they will be given to you at check in.
Step three:
Line up on the ramps by 4:55 p.m., when the bells ring to signal the start of the procession. Senior Marshals, Class Day award winners, Senior Fund chairs, named award winners, and King's Crown Leadership Excellence "Dean's Award" winners are needed in line by 4:00 p.m. for photos.
