Department Reception or Family Dinner?
Some departments hold receptions during Commencement Week, but you'll likely want to make reservations at your favorite restaurant now if yours is not among them. We've heard of a few of these, but you should contact your department directly for full details.
No Cap + No Gown = No Class Day (or Commencement!)
All students participating in Class Day and Commencement must arrive with regalia. If you haven't made any arrangements to procure yours, pick up your cap and gown from the Columbia Bookstore ASAP!
Get Tickets to Your Guests BEFORE the Morning of Commencement
Both before AND after Class Day and Commencement, the campus becomes impossible to navigate. Decide ahead of time how you will get things to your guests in advance of the ceremonies (like Commencement tickets or personal items to hold) and where you'll meet them after.
What Should My Class Day and Commencement Guests Know?
For ceremony details, GradZone is an excellent resource for your guests, too! From this one site, they can learn when seating begins, what campus entries to use, and what they'll need to bring.

Let CCE know the places you’ll go! Fill out the 2014 Graduating Student Survey for a chance to win a Jawbone Jambox or other prizes. If your school has the highest percentage of completed surveys by Commencement, you could win a Beats by Dr. Dre Pill!

Senior Fund: Last Chance!
