Graduation Ceremony FAQ'S

When will I receive my Cap and Gown?

Students should receive their cap and gown package before spring break.

How many guests can I invite to graduation?

To comply with social distancing requirements, a ticket will be required to attend the 2021 graduation. The goal is to provide students with 10 tickets but this is not guaranteed. We are working on a process to share unneeded tickets with students who need more than the amount given. More details will be provided.

Can I decorate my graduation cap?

Graduates may decorate their caps, however, designs must be approved by the student's counselor prior to adding to the cap. Students who arrive at graduation with a decorated cap that has not been approved will not walk in the graduation ceremony.

What should I wear to graduation?

Male Graduates – solid-colored slacks and dress shoes; no tennis shoes/sneakers or flip flops; collared shirts

Female Graduates – preferably a dress not longer than the length of the graduation robe and no shorter than 2 inches above the knee, dress shoes, no flip flops or tennis shoes/sneakers; capris and jeans are not allowed.

Attire should be modest and fitting for this occasion

If I don’t pass all of my classes to graduate but will try in the summer to graduate, can I still walk on the May 21st Graduation Ceremony?

Unfortunately, a student that has not graduated thus passed all courses required to be a graduate cannot walk in the ceremony. Please meet with your counselor to determine a plan.

Will snacks be provided?

No, snacks will not be provided to the students.

Graduation Event Security and Safety

In order to create a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests, the following safety and security measures are implemented at Infinite Energy Center.

We have instituted a clear bag policy to provide the most effective, contactless screening possible. All guests will be required to have their bags checked and pass through a metal detector. Metal detectors are an effective method for Event Security to safely screen guests and prevent prohibited items from entering the building. In order to increase the efficiency of these machines, guests are asked to keep the following guidelines in mind when attending an event:

Arrive early in preparation for additional security measures
Limit the number of personal items brought into the venue in order to expedite the screening process
Prepare for a clear bag check by Event Security. If you have a diaper bag or medical bag, follow appropriate signage to the proper screening area.
Place your cell phone, camera and purse on the screening table and prepare to walk through the metal detector.
Guests will be subject to a secondary screening process if the alarm sounds when passing through the walk-through metal detector.
An alternative security screening is available to guests who are: expectant mothers, wheelchair-bound or have a medical condition.
