Commencement 2013

This year's IU Southeast Commencement is scheduled for Monday May 6, 2013. The outdoor Commencement ceremony will be held at the IU Southeast amphitheater at 4 p.m. In case of rain, the Commencement ceremony will be moved indoors to the IU Southeast Activities Building and there will be two ceremonies.

Outdoor

• The outdoor ceremony will be held in the amphitheater behind Knobview on the IU Southeast campus, weather permitting.
  If inclement weather is a possibility, the University will decide on May 5th if indoor commencement ceremonies are required. Check www.ius.edu for the announcement. 
• Plan to assemble at 3 p.m. on Alumni Drive - in full academic attire - with the other graduates from your school. (There will be no designated area for students to change into their cap and gown. Alumni Drive is located in front of the Ogle Center.) The flags of each school will be displayed. Once you assemble in your school's area, get your name card from the staff marshal and get ready for the processional. If you have questions, or need help keeping your cap pinned on, seek out the assistance of one of the campus volunteers.
• The march down the hill, passing through the spectators and into the graduate seating area in front of the amphitheater, is one of IU's most memorable processions. Savor the moment and feel proud of your accomplishments!
• If you are in need of assistance in crossing the stage at Commencement, please contact any Commencement volunteer as soon as you arrive on campus. We will make special arrangements for you.

Rain Site

• If Commencement is moved indoors due to inclement weather, Commencement ceremonies will be held in the IU Southeast Activities Building (Gym). If inclement weather is a possibility, the University will decide on May 5th if indoor Commencement ceremonies are required. Check www.ius.edu for the announcement.
• In order to better accommodate you and your guests, there will be two rain site Commencement ceremonies. See the list below to determine if your school is in the 12 p.m. or 4 p.m. ceremony. Students should arrive already dressed in regalia. There is no designated area for students to change into their cap and gowns.
• Included in your cap and gown packet are four rain site tickets. In order to comply with fire code, we can only provide each student with four tickets. Only those guests with rain site tickets will be granted admission into the ceremony. If you have more than four guests who wish to celebrate with you, overflow seating is provided in Hillside Hall (HH) room 104.
• There are no reserved seats for the public.
• If you are in need of assistance in crossing the stage at Commencement, please contact any Commencement volunteer as soon as you arrive on campus. We will make special arrangements for you.
• The Athletics Building does not accomodate the space needed for a student processional. Please immediately find a seat with your respective school.
