Bag Policy & Security

Bags are not permitted in areas designated only for graduates.

Security

Graduates and guests will pass through a security screening system before entering the venue.

There are no secure places to store personal items before or during the ceremony. Small personal items, such as phones and wallets, must be carried in a pocket. There are pockets on both sides of the blue CSUF stole. Graduates are not permitted to carry items across the stage.

All individuals and their belongings are subject to search. The following information is subject to change without notice.

Graduates with medical bags or items they must carry with them must inform Disability Support Services of their need and have pre-approval. Upon arrival at the graduate line-up, the bags and/or items will be inspected and labeled with a security band. PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY TO AVOID LAST-MINUTE GATE PRESSURE.

Permitted Areas

Only graduates and Commencement personnel will be permitted in graduate areas prior to the ceremony.

No children or guests will be permitted in the graduate seating area or on stage.

All candidates should plan to meet their guests outside the venue after the ceremony.

Guests will be asked to exit at the end of the ceremony so we can prepare for the next ceremony. Prepare a meeting point location with your graduate.
