Commencement
Decorum and Appropriate Attire
The Commencement
ceremony is a traditional academic ritual. To participate in the ceremony,
you must wear the appropriate academic regalia and maintain decorum. This
means: no signs, no fireworks, no bottles, no beach balls, no cans, no
drugs, and no alcohol. Graduates choosing not to abide by these rules
will not be allowed in the Towson Center and may be escorted from the
ceremony.
Appropriate clothing should be worn beneath the regalia. Those who are not dressed properly will be asked to leave the assembly area and will not be allowed to participate.
Except to follow
directions from the stage, graduates are asked to remain in your seat
for the entire ceremony. Movement on the floor is distracting to the guests
in the stands, and it is disrespectful to the speakers.
The faculty and staff of TU congratulate you on your academic success and wish to insure that the Commencement ceremony will be a fitting conclusion to this phase of your education. We ask your help in making the ceremony a pleasant experience for all by attentively considering the rights and feelings of the other participants and guests.
