Caps and Gowns


Make sure to pick up your cap and gown from the BYU Store and ensure it’s not wrinkled when you walk in Commencement and/or Convocation. Please do not decorate your cap, gown, or tassel in any way. You will be asked to remove any décor prior to entering the Marriott Center stage.

Where Should You Meet Your Family/Guests Afterwards?


For the Recessional, you will be guided to exit via the same tunnel you entered. We ask that you patiently wait your turn and leave as the ushers direct you. Once outside, you will be able to move to the north or south side of the Marriott Center, where the parking lot is.

Programs


Graduates, you will not receive a full program initially. There will be an agenda of the program on your seats as you arrive. When you exit the tunnel, you will be offered the opportunity to take a full program.

Reminder to Those Walking with Relatives


If you have a relative/spouse/fiancée walking with you in the Life Sciences Convocation, you will be checking in together. You will both need to fill out name cards. Due to time constraints, relationships and majors will not be read.

In Case of Inclement Weather


In the case of rain or snow, we ask that you still report to the SE corner outside the Marriott Center for a quick check-in. You will then be directed to the appropriate seating area per department inside the Marriott Center.
