Graduating students, we’re looking forward to seeing you on Thursday, May 7, for commencement! Last-minute reminders:
TICKETS
Print or download tickets before arriving at the stadium to avoid last-minute ticket issues, and remember that each of your guests must have a ticket, including infants and children. If you have shared your tickets electronically (through a link or text message), your guests should download the tickets before getting to the door. Guests with tickets that do not work or no verification of having gotten a ticket will not be allowed inside the venue.
PROHIBITED ITEMS AT US BANK STADIUM
The following items are prohibited at US Bank Stadium: firearms and weapons, drugs, alcohol, outside food and beverages other than water, balloons, signs on staffs or poles, noisemakers, speakers, confetti, and bags larger than a standard backpack (approximately 8×15 inches). Water bottles must be empty and not made of metal, or be sealed.
LIVESTREAM
The full commencement ceremony will be available via live webcast on the university’s YouTube channel and at augsburg.edu/commencement.
LINING UP AND CROSSING THE STAGE
Graduates will form two lines to enter the stadium floor. If you want to sit next to someone specific, make sure they are in front of or behind you in the same line. When walking up to receive your diploma on stage, you have the option to shake hands with President Pribbenow or a member of the Board of Regents. If you wish to shake their hand, please extend your hand first to the person in front of you. This will let them know your preference.
MEET YOUR GUESTS OUTSIDE AFTER THE CEREMONY
Immediately following the ceremony, graduates will be directed by the marshals to depart and proceed to the stadium exits on the main level. Please plan to meet your family and friends in the plaza outside of the stadium.
