COMMENCEMENT PROCESSION
The Commencement Procession consists of a continually moving 0.75 mile walk through the heart of campus. Graduates and their guests will remain together the entire procession, with the exception of the stage crossing. In front of the Mission Church, graduates will cross the ‘stage’ as their name is read aloud, receive their diploma cover, and have professional photos taken. Guests of the graduate will have a clear and up-close view of their graduate crossing the stage. The professional photographer will email proofs to each graduate within one week of the event.
All family and friends are invited to watch the Commencement live-stream on the Commencement Website.
On June 11, the SCU Campus will be open only to those who have a valid ticket and are wristbanded. There are no areas on campus for non-ticketed guests to gather. Each time slot will have a designated colored wristband (given to each guest after scanning their ticket) which will grant them access to campus during their time slot. After completing the procession, all graduates and guests will be guided off campus.
