Commencement Brochure 2015

8 / 8

ASSEMBLY & ROBING
Candidates should plan to arrive when venue doors open, one hour prior to
their ceremony start time and proceed to the second-floor RecPlex main
assembly area.
Articles of clothing that will be visible at the neck and below the gown should
be in keeping with the conservative style of the academic attire. With that in
mind, please do not wear tennis shoes/sneakers. Also, stiletto heels should
be avoided as they can pose a personal safety risk when walking up and down
steep stairs and standing for long periods of time. The hood should be secured
so that it will not slip off the shoulders. The cap, which may need bobby pins
to stay on your head, is worn parallel to the ground.
PHOTOGRAPHY
NSU Commencement ceremonies are professionally photographed. All
candidates will be photographed at least twice, including the exact moment
when each candidate shakes hands with the dean or president.
Personal photographs may be taken only before and after the ceremony.
Spectators are not permitted in the aisles or on the main floor during or after
the ceremony.
