Commencement Information Below are the final details and instructions for the Law School commencement ceremony and other commencement weekend events. This is the last information you will receive about commencement. If the weather permits, graduating students will assemble in Opperman Hall and walk in a procession from Opperman Hall to the Knapp Center. If the procession is canceled because of inclement weather, graduating students will assemble in the Bell Center Gym. All guests of graduating students should go directly to the Knapp Center.
Academic attire is required for the ceremony.
You will need to pick up your cap and gown in advance. If you have not already ordered your cap and gown, you need to do so immediately at the University Bookstore. Carry your hood across your forearm until you cross the stage, at which time you will be hooded and receive your degree. Do not wear your hood before the ceremony. No videotapes of the ceremony will be sold, so if you want a video of the ceremony, ask one of your guests to bring a camcorder.
