- Doors open at 6 p.m. for guests
- Ceremony will start promptly at 7 p.m.

The accesso ShoWare Center's large, indoor venue offers enough seating for guests so tickets are not required for family and guests. Seating is fairly close to the floor and sight lines are great.
An email will be sent to graduates who have indicated their intent to participate in the commencement ceremony by the week of May 7. The email will be sent to the student's Green River email account.
