Apprentices and Families,
We are excited to celebrate commencement with you this year! Please find below the guidelines and requirements for attendance for graduates and guests of the apprenticeship graduation.
Important reminder: Alcohol is not allowed at the event.
Apprentices should arrive no later than 9:15 a.m. for check-in.
No tickets are required for the event, and there is no limit on the number of guests than an Apprentice may invite. Seating will be roped off for apprentices and instructors marked as “reserved”. Guests are not permitted to sit there.
Yes, some students have guests who require special assistance during the ceremony. To accommodate them, we remove chairs and make space for wheelchairs.
We suggest that Apprentices wear business casual attire to the event. Caps and gowns are not required or expected to be worn.
As most underclassmen won’t be on campus, there should be enough parking space for all the visitors. It’s recommended to carpool whenever possible. Public safety officials will be present before the ceremony to guide the guests to the available parking areas. Please enter from Route 66 straight onto campus.
Please leave your pet at home. Do not leave your pet in your vehicle. Only service animals are allowed.
Stay informed during commencement with important updates, weather alerts, or safety information.
How to sign up:
That’s it! You’ll be enrolled instantly.

Guests are welcome to take photographs during the ceremony. However, we kindly ask that you stay behind any ropes and avoid blocking the aisles or interfering with other guests’ views of the event. Please be respectful of all graduates and guests. Also, there will be plenty of opportunity to take photographs after the event.
