Getting There. The commencement  ceremony will be held at Arcade Church Worship Center. If you need directions, Click Here.

Seating.  Arcade Church will seat 1300
guests, so there will be plenty of room
for all your family and friends.  No tickets
required.

Attire.  Guests often wonder what attire
is appropriate for the commencement
ceremony.  Most people wear either nice
pants or skirts/dresses.  It’s a dressy
occasion, but not formal.

Children.  We encourage guests not to bring children under five, or older children who might have difficulty sitting quietly for the entire ceremony.  Mothers of nursing infants are invited to bring their babies, but they’re encouraged to sit in the back of the room.

Cell Phones. Please turn off cell phones, and please remind your guests to do the same so as not to disturb others during the ceremony.

Reception. We will be having a light hors d’oeuvres reception following the commencement ceremony.  Enjoy visiting and taking pictures with family, friends and faculty.
