Seniors assemble at Leede Arena by 8:15 a.m. and must be in their assigned seats by 8:30 a.m. The doors will be closed at 8:30 a.m. sharp. Seniors will not be admitted to the Commencement procession after 8:30 a.m. At a signal from the undergraduate dean, the class marshals and the bagpiper will lead the Seniors from Leede Arena to the Green. Once on the Green, the Seniors will form two lines through which the Academic Procession will advance toward the platform, providing an opportunity for acknowledgement of the accomplishments of the Seniors and the support of faculty and administrators (the “Gauntlet”).

Rehearsal attendance is limited to graduating students and other undergraduate commencement participants only.

Ceremony participants who wish to request disability-related arrangements should contact Kathleen Cunneen in the Undergraduate Deans Office at (603) 646-2243 or Undergraduate Deans Office . Requests can be made at any time, but some types of adjustments take several weeks to arrange.  Therefore, please request adjustments as soon as possible.
