The landscaped lawns and Main College Building provide a beautiful and impressive background for the Commencement ceremony. Outdoor theater-style seating adequately accommodates our graduating students and their guests. There are no tickets for Simmons College Commencement.
Graduates can invite as many guests as they wish.
It is important to remember that Commencement will occur, rain or shine, in the area behind the Main College Building. To be prepared for all kinds of weather, we suggest you come equipped with the appropriate clothing and gear, whether it be an umbrella, raincoat or sunblock - depending on the forecast. Sunglasses are always highly recommended if the sun is shining. This is when the academic procession will be formed and attendance checked.
