Families, friends, and the general public are cordially invited to attend commencement. Tickets are not required but seating is limited and large groups of guests wishing to sit together should arrive early.
The arena doors open one hour prior to the published start time of the ceremony for both candidates and guests. Because seating is limited, plan accordingly.
Be aware that the arena doors will temporarily close to guests during the opening processional and the playing of The Star Spangled Banner, and reopen afterwards on a space-available basis.
Please Note: Due to the size of the Arena at the Don Taft University Center and as a courtesy to all candidates and their guests, the saving of seats is strictly prohibited.
Family members (other than your spouse and children) wishing to visit for commencement must apply for a tourist visa at the U.S. Embassy or consulate in their home countries.
Ensure that your family members have the following evidence, which will be helpful during the visa application process:
The U.S. State Department/Bureau of Consular Affairs hosts a website (www.travel.state.gov) with additional information about applying for a tourist visa. In addition, many individual consulates, websites have more specific information about inviting family members.
