August 9, 2008

United Spirit Arena
The Colleges of Agricultural Sciences & Natural
Resources, Architecture, Arts & Sciences, Business Administration,
Education, Engineering, Graduate School Honors College, and Mass Communications
and Visual & Performing Arts will be participating
in this ceremony, where each degree recipient will be recognized
individually.
Student Instructions:
Students are asked to park in the commuter parking lot,
and enter the United Spirit Arena at the drive-in bay located
on the north side one hour prior to the start of Commencement.
As you enter the bay, go to the Rawls College of Business
table where all degree recipients will receive instructions
concerning the ceremony and the processional. Your advisor
will give you your personalized photographer's card, which
will be used by the photographer and also will serve as the
name card that you will present to the reader as you go across
the stage during the ceremony. After you have obtained the
card, proceed to your assigned seat and then fill out the
back of the card. Please bring along a pen to use for this
task. Your family and guests should be reminded to enter the
Arena through the main entrance.
IMPORTANT: As you cross the stage during
the ceremony, you will be handed a Texas Tech diploma cover.
In order to ensure we have a diploma cover for you,
it is imperative that you RSVP (by phone 742-3171 or email
at ba_undergrad@ttu.edu) to the Undergraduate Services Center
if you WILL or WILL NOT be attending the Commencement Ceremony.
You will be sent a letter prior to Commencement instructing
you when to RSVP.
Please be sure to check your permanent address on TechSis
as this is the address your diploma will be mailed to in the
event you do not attend the Ceremony.
The proper attire for the ceremony is cap and gown, and black
shoes (no corsages or decorations, please). Gentlemen:
you should wear black slacks, dress shirt and tie. Ladies:
you should leave your purse with a family member since there
is not a secured place for it while you are participating
in the ceremony. Cell phones should also be left with a family
member.
