Flagstaff Campus May 2011 Commencement

Subject: Flagstaff Campus May 2011 Commencement
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The May 2011 commencement season has been presented with a number of challenges due to the renovation of the Walkup Skydome and the many other construction projects underway in May. After examining many different alternatives and conducting many stakeholder conversations, it was decided that the best option was to rent and construct a high-quality temporary facility. Structure: The commencement structure will be located in parking lot P62B. P62 will be reserved during commencement for VIP and handicap parking. Lot P62B will be closed on May 2 to accommodate construction. All other set-up work will begin on May 9. Ceremony Event Details: We will have a five commencement ceremonies as is shown below. Departments, schools and colleges will be able to conduct receptions. Ceremony scripts and timing will be nearly the same as always.
Ticketing Details: Another change unique to May is the need for guest tickets. Although the temporary structure is large—about the size of a football field in plan—it is not big enough to accommodate an unlimited number of guests. As such, each graduating student is limited to six ticketed guests. Tickets will be available from NAU Central Ticketing between 8 a.m. April 1 and 4 p.m. April 30, 2011. Graduating Flagstaff students will pick up tickets in person. Extended Campuses and Yuma students will order by phone, and tickets will be mailed. Unclaimed tickets will be available, two at a time, for those needing additional tickets between May 2 and May 12. Students will be encouraged to pick up or order only the number of tickets they will actually need. Graduation Application Due Date: Because tickets will be given to only those students listed in the commencement bulletin, it will be very important that the graduation application deadlines and bulletin production schedules are followed by all colleges and units. Please make an extra effort to get the word out to potential spring graduates about submitting their graduation paperwork no later than November 15, 2010. Students not listed in the commencement bulletin—even if they are eligible to graduate and attend commencement—will not be able to pick up guest tickets and their families will not be able to attend graduation. Ticket details and other information will be sent in a letter to each graduating student early in the spring semester. Information will also be posted at nau.edu/graduation. Please spread the word about the spring graduation application deadline. When the call comes out in early spring, please consider volunteering to staff or serve as a marshal at one or more ceremonies. We are confident that this plan will result in a set of commencement events that we can all be proud of. If we work together, we can ensure that each graduate will have a high-quality commencement event that they each deserve. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
