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 16th
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.
