FYI December Graduation Update:

The formal winter graduation event  is called the December Convocation 
and is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 20, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Patriot 
Center.

Every student who is a December graduate will process across the stage 
as their name is called. August graduates may attend the December 
graduation event if they did not participate in the previous May 
ceremonies. (December graduates may still participate in the May 2013 
Commencement ceremony if they desire; the Volgenau School has decided 
that these students may also participate in our May 16^th Convocation).

The wearing of regalia at the December Convocation is strongly 
encouraged. University marshals and the platform party will wear full 
regalia. Graduates should secure their regalia through the Mason 
Bookstore. Regalia will be available at the Bookstore's "mini" Grad Fair 
on Nov. 6, 7 and 8 and up until the December Convocation. Vendors 
selling other graduation-related items will also be at the fair. Each 
graduate will receive six tickets to the ceremony, and these will be 
available at the Grad Fair. Opportunities to pick up tickets at a later 
time will also be provided.

Unlike the May ceremony, students will not process into the Patriot 
Center but will be escorted directly to their seats by university marshals.
