Howdy!
 
Welcome to Part 5 of the "Know Before You Go" email series for Summer 2024 Commencement. We hope this information has been helpful for you and your guests. Should you need to revisit any of these emails, they can all be accessed on the News page of our website.

Before you cross the stage, here are a few final reminders:

Graduation Clearance:

You are not required to clear all degree requirements to attend the Summer 2024 Commencement ceremonies. The only required item to attend the ceremony is an active Summer 2024 graduation application for your degree program.

However, if you do not anticipate clearing the final audit on Monday, August 12, 2024, please ensure all necessary requirements are resolved by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 23, 2024. For questions about clearing degree requirements, undergraduate and professional students should contact their academic advisor, and graduate students should reach out to the Graduate and Professional School at grad@tamu.edu. Please note that NO exceptions will be made to the August 23, 2024 deadline. Additional information on the graduation clearance process can be found on our website.

Arriving at the Ceremony:
 
Please ensure you arrive at the North Entry to check in no later than 30 minutes before your ceremony begins with your regalia. Failure to check in within this timeframe will result in being marked absent, and your name not being included in the roll call of graduates.

Clear Bag Policy and Personal Items:

Reed Arena will enforce a clear bag policy for all graduates and guests. As there won't be storage available during the ceremony or while crossing the stage, we recommend using a small clear bag or fanny pack that can be worn under your regalia to store personal items.

We appreciate your contribution to bringing together so many individuals to celebrate the remarkable academic achievements of our Aggie graduates and the introduction of a new class of former students! We hope to make this one of the many great memories you take with you from Aggieland.

Congratulations, and we look forward to seeing you at the ceremony!
 
Thank you,
