The Office of Cultural and Special Programs is communicating the following information to seniors, President's List and Dean's List honorees planning to process at Spring Convocation at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 4.
As the university community prepares for Spring Convocation, congratulations on your achievements.
As a participant in Spring Convocation, you will march in academic regalia and have a reserved seat. Seniors will wear their maroon bachelor’s robes. ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ who march with President’s and Dean’s List will wear black bachelor’s robes borrowed from the university. Robes are available at the Barnes & Noble campus shop on North Williamson Avenue. Please be prepared to show your Phoenix Card to pick up a robe for Spring Convocation.
¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ who do not have a 2:20 p.m. class should arrive at the Koury Athletic Center at 3 p.m. This will help to quickly organize the processional line. Thursday classes that begin at 2:20 p.m. will dismiss at 3 p.m., which means all students should be in line by 3:15 p.m. wearing their academic robes.
The student lines will form on the exterior walkways outside Koury Athletic Center.
Per the diagram below:
- Last names A-L line up under the columns facing Williamson Avenue
- Last names M-Z will line up under the columns facing Young Commons and Belk Library
University staff will organize the line.
Important Reminders:
- Please be on time and no later than 3:15 p.m.
- Travel light and keep any valuables with you, including backpacks.
- Wear light clothing under academic robes to be most comfortable in the gym.
- The ceremony will conclude at approximately 5 p.m. with the student recessional.
- University staff will direct the recessional. Please remain at your seats until your row is called.
- You will exit/recess in the same manner as the start. University staff will direct students out of the gym.
