Guests will be permitted to enter Carnegie Hall beginning at 11:30 am Once the academic procession begins, guests will not be permitted to enter the Hall until all degree candidates and the faculty are seated. Seating in the Hall is general admission; seats are available on a first come, first served basis.

As the Hall fills up, areas will be closed off and guests arriving will be directed to seating that is available.  Please plan accordingly. To maintain the dignity of the ceremony, guests will be asked by the ushers to keep the aisles clear.
