Travel Planning
Links to websites of hosting universities have been included so that you may familiarize yourself with the campus you are visiting and so that you may obtain driving directions and campus maps.
Ceremonies typically last one hour and a half; however, some locations have a reception following the ceremony. At most sites students have reserved or assigned seating, and families seat themselves on a first-come, first served basis.
