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 12:00 Noon and end at 12:45 PM.

Is there a charge for my cap and gown?
Associate - $37.00 plus tax
Baccalaureate - $61.00 plus tax
Tassels are included with Cap and Gown.
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 the Campus Store (607 746 4760) to make sure the gown color and style are appropriate. Conditions such as (not limited to) different or faded color, gowns of different fabric, different hoods, length, or trims are not appropriate. Once the Campus Store has checked over your cap and gown, you will be able to pick up 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.
How do I purchase additional graduation photos?
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 February 2012. 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 February or March.
I need more information, whom do I contact?
the Commencement Committee Chair, Joan Erickson. The best way is by e-mail: ericksjj@delhi.edu.
