NOTES TO GRADUATING CLASS

1) Your cap and gown [which is yours to keep] may be picked up at the HUB Bookstore during the week of May 11. The Bookstore hours that week will be 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you have any questions, please call the Bookstore at 610 861-1485. No measurements are needed.

2) In the event of rain, the limited seating capacity in Johnston Hall will necessitate admission rain passes for Commencement. You will receive 4 passes with your cap and gown. If you will not need all 4 of your passes, please either give your extras to a fellow graduate who needs them or leave them at the HUB desk. There will be no other way for graduates to obtain extra passes except from those turned in at the HUB desk. TV monitors will be set up in the HUB and Priscilla Payne Hurd Academic Complex classrooms. These areas will be more comfortable for those with young children or whose health would be negatively impacted by the close, crowded conditions in Johnston Hall. No passes are required if Commencement is held outdoors or for TV viewing in the HUB and PPHAC. The announcement as to whether or not the ceremony will be held in-doors will be made on Saturday at 6:30 a.m. The information will be posted on our web site or you may call 610 625-7995 or 610 861-1300.

3) Detailed instructions about where to go and what to do during Baccalaureate and Com-mencement will be distributed at rehearsal. Please notify Jane Schaffer (610 861-1348; janes@moravian.edu) if you will be unable to attend rehearsal.

4) By faculty policy, only those students who are certified as having satisfied all requirements for the degree (see pages 28 of the current catalog) are eligible to receive a diploma or to be announced as graduating cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude. If you have any questions in this regard, ask Dean Traupman-Carr, Academic Affairs Office, Monocacy Hall, 610 861-1348, caroltcarr@moravian.edu.

5) Final transcripts will be distributed at rehearsal to graduates who have satisfied all obligations to the College, including payment of all outstanding charges and/or return of equipment and library books. If you cannot attend rehearsal, you may obtain your transcript from the Registrar’s office beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Friday.

6) If you have a guest whose physical disabilities will require special assistance on campus, please contact Campus Safety (610 861-1421). They will explain where to go and how to get there. There will be reserved seating for disabled guests on the HUB portico.
