Inclement Weather Plan:

• We plan for glorious spring weather and outdoor ceremonies on Main Lawn where you can bring as many guests as you like without needing tickets. However, sometime Mother Nature has her own plans that don't align with ours. In the event of drizzle, light rain, or steady rain, we will still be outdoors. Please dress appropriately. Ponchos will also be provided for all graduates. In the event of severe weather that would make being outdoors unsafe, we will move indoors and communicate that via this website, email and the PioAlert system by noon on Friday for the Graduate ceremony and 7 am on Saturday for Undergraduate. 
• Only if we move indoors will guests need wristbands for entry. Graduates may pick up their wristbands at check-in - please note that if you choose the ship-to-home for your Jostens order, wristbands are not included in that package. Undergraduates will have their wristbands included in their cap and gown order on April 17.

DO NOT LOSE YOUR WRISTBANDS. THEY WILL NOT BE REPLACED.
