Guest seating is general admission and offered on a first-come, first served basis, so come early for the best seat. Given the size of the audience, large parties are not allowed to save seats. Instead, we ask groups to gather outside and come in together.

To ensure that all attendees have an unobscured viewing of the ceremony and graduates, signs, flags, confetti and balloons are not permitted.
