Academic Processional Information

Academic Processional

Graduates will enter from the front entrance of campus and proceed to senior seating on the The John R. Turbyfill '53 Quadrangle. Please be attentive to all directions given by the Roanoke College Marshals and ushers assisting you. More information and a seating map
Note that the Baccalaureate and Commencement 2013 programs will be on your chair in senior seating both in Bast Gym (Baccalaureate) or Front Lawn (Commencement) or in case of inclement weather, the Salem Civic Center (Commencement). Do NOT bring programs with you to the robing areas. We prefer that programs are not carried in the processional so they will be held in the robing area.
Please remember that your original diploma will be presented to you on stage. These diplomas are 14 x 17 in size and will be presented to you in maroon leatherette tubes. Also, enclosed in your tube will be the traditional blue and gold ribbons.
