- Required Bag Check for Graduates and Guests: In accordance with Kennesaw State University requirements, all persons entering the Convocation Center MUST submit all bags and packages for inspection by public safety personnel. Please do not bring any packages that cannot be opened or inspected. Also, please allow for extra time for entry as there may be delays.
- Graduates are strongly encouraged not to bring any bags or purses with them to the commencement ceremony. Bag inspection for graduates will be held in the Carmichael Center.
- The bag inspection includes, but is not limited to: purses, back packs, tote bags, diaper bags, camera bags, and packages.
- Tassels should be worn on the left side of the cap. Caps should be worn flat on top of the head, not on the back, with the shorter point just above the eyebrows.
- Behavior at the ceremony and practices must be exemplary. Throwing caps in the convocation center is inappropriate and dangerous and will not be permitted. If a student tosses a cap during the ceremony or during the recessional, the student will pay restitution to KSU for any damages incurred. Please understand that disruption and misconduct in any form will not be tolerated.*
- Any senior who causes a disturbance or in any way conducts himself inappropriately during the ceremony will be removed and will not receive his diploma on the day of graduation.
- Balloons, posters/signs, horns/noisemakers, camera tripods, monopods or other obstructions are not permitted in the Convocation Center.
- Dress for graduates will be as follows:
- Gentlemen: black pants, black shoes and black socks, white dress shirt and either a dark blue or black tie.
- Ladies: solid colored dark dresses (length no longer than the gown; collars should not show) or black dress slacks, and the white collar provided in the cap/gown package, simple small jewelry (no necklaces), and black dress shoes (no white hosiery and no silver/gold on the shoes). If you decide to wear high heeled shoes, please select a comfortable pair for walking and standing for long periods of time. NO FLIP FLOPS, OPEN-TOE SHOES, or shoes with sparkles/bling are to be worn. Parents will not be permitted to interrupt the commencement ceremony to deliver shoes to replace shoes that are uncomfortable or make walking difficult.
