Graduation Reminders

Today is the big day.  We just wanted to give you a few reminders about today.
  1. Graduates MUST bring their cap, gown, tassel, and stole/cords (as applicable), and Purple Pass with them to the Loading Dock at the Colonial Life Arena.
  2. Graduates MUST arrive no later than 10:45 AM on June 4th to the Loading Dock. Parking and traffic will be a challenge, so plan ahead.
  3. All guests and graduates will be searched and have to go through a metal detector before they are allowed to enter the arena. This is a security measure that everyone MUST follow. This will add time to your overall journey so our suggestion is to arrive early, bring as few items as necessary since all items/bags will be searched, and plan to be flexible.
  4. Graduates can NOT bring purses, bags, or anything extra with them.  They MUST to have their gowns unzipped and their pockets empty when they arrive at the Loading Dock. This will save them time. 
  5. Graduates should plan to arrive prior to 10:45 so that they have enough time to go through security.
  6. Any items that guests bring must adhere to the Colonial Life Arena's policies. Please note that the following items are NOT allowed: 
  • Aerosol cans
  • Outside Food & Beverages (inclduing alcoholic beverages) or illegal drugs
  • Animals (except certified service animals for the disabled)
  • Beach balls, balloons and other inflatables
