Severe Weather
In an effort to accommodate family members and guests, the College always attempts to hold commencement outdoors, even if it is raining.
In the case of severe weather, the ceremony will be moved to the Weed Physical Arts Center. Severe weather is defined as conditions that make holding an outdoor ceremony dangerous or impossible. Seating is limited in the Weed Physical Arts Center. Therefore, graduates will receive two guest tickets. Guests must present their tickets to an usher upon entrance to the facility.
Family members and guests who do not have tickets may view a broadcast of the ceremony in Norton Chapel or Geiser Refectory (Dahlstrom Student Center).
Any decision regarding changes to the commencement location will be made as early as possible and will be posted on the College Web site. It will also be announced at baccalaureate, on the main campus weather line at (315) 279-5000, and on local radio and TV stations.
