When the President confers your degree, stand, and then sit down. Hand your name card to Dr. Sanderson and then walk to Dr. Bartok. Receive the diploma with your left hand and shake hands with your right hand. When you return to your seat, please sit down. Men should remove their caps during the invocation and benediction.
Women keep their caps on always.
Do not chew gum or distract from the ceremony. Don't talk during the ceremony. Go outside or over to the Convocation Center immediately after the ceremony is over. DO NOT block the doorway. Arrange a place to meet family and friends that is NOT near the exit, which must remain clear for other people to get through.
