You will get 4 guest tickets when you pick up your cap and gown at the campus store.
Can I get extra tickets?
Due to limited seating and the popularity of commencement, we cannot give you extra tickets.
Is there reserved seating?
No, there is no reserved seating. It is a good idea for guests to get there early. Seating will begin at 11:45 AM and end at 12:45 PM.
How do I arrange for access for a handicapped relative?
You need to contact Ms. Linda Weinberg at 607 746 4593, Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities, to arrange for your guest's accommodations. Requests must be made by May 10. If you do not let us know what you need by May 10, we will not be able to accommodate you on graduation day.
How does a graduating student get the cap and gown?
Cap and gown are available at the Campus Store.
Is there a charge for cap and gown?
Yes, there is a charge.
$37.98 for Associate Degree and Certificate Degree Students
$54.98 for Baccalaureate Students
Can I order my cap and gown from the Campus Store and have it shipped to me?
No, plenty of caps and gowns will be available at the Campus Store right up to the time of the ceremony.
I already have a cap and gown, can I use it?
You may, but there are some conditions: you must contact Joan Erickson for permission ( ericksjj@delhi.edu ). She will then contact the campus store and allow you to pick up your guest tickets and other information without buying a cap and gown.
I changed my mind and now want to participate. But commencement is tomorrow, can I still participate?
Yes, you can still participate. Just go to the Campus Store and purchase your cap and gown.
Will someone be videotaping the ceremony?
No.
Will I get my diploma on commencement day?
No, the students will be receiving only a diploma cover. The college still needs to certify that the student is qualified for graduation. Students won't receive their actual diplomas until August 2010. Walking across the stage and being listed in the program is not a guarantee that you're graduating.
How do I make sure the college has my correct address?
To assure that your diploma gets to you, be sure that the college has your correct address. You should contact the Office of Records and Registration (746 4560) to make sure that they have your correct address.
How do I get my diploma if I don't attend graduation?
If you do not attend commencement, your diploma and a diploma cover will be mailed to you in August or September.
I need more information, whom do I contact?
the Commencement Committee Chair, Joan Erickson. The best way is by e-mail: ericksjj@delhi.edu.
