Celebratory and decorative items

We understand that guests may want to bring celebratory or decorative items to commencement to celebrate their graduate. Per venue guidelines, balloons, bullhorns, and air horns are not allowed.

We ask that you refrain from putting leis and flower arrangements around your graduate until after the ceremony to ease the hooding process.
