Top 10 Things Graduates Need to Know for Commencement
Download all tickets before arriving at Neville Arena. Tickets are required for entry and can be scanned from a phone or printed.
Arena doors open 90 minutes before each ceremony.
Graduates must arrive at least an hour before your ceremony begins to pick up your name card and be seated (enter through the main student entrance).
Allow ample time to travel to Neville Arena and park. Multiple events are taking place on campus during commencement weekend, which may result in additional traffic. A map of suggested parking lots is available on the commencement website.
Only bring a cell phone with you (no bags are permitted). Be sure to also have your ID!
Graduates are seated on the Arena floor by college (no assigned seats).
When crossing the stage, your name will be announced, and you will receive a copy of the Auburn Creed from your dean, shake hands with President Roberts and a member of the Board of Trustees.
All ceremonies are expected to last between 1.5 and 2 hours.
Following the ceremony, find your friends and family at the Meet-Up Tent (located in the Arena parking lot), pick up some official 2025 graduate swag, and take pictures!
