Notes to Graduating Class
1) Your cap and gown [which are yours to keep] should have already been ordered. If they were not, call the College Bookstore (610 861-1485) immediately.
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. The HUB will be a more comfortable environment 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. Commencement will also be live streamed at:http://ustream.tv/channel/moravianlive.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.

Kleintop, Associate Dean of Business and Management Programs, Comenius Center, Benigna Hall, Room 206: 610 625-7704; wkleintop@moravian.edu.
