Cords are not distributed for Latin honors. Your honors will be printed on your diploma, which you will receive in the mail after final grades are processed.

All graduates should head to C Street (the road between Lions Stadium and the Recreation Center) to line up for the graduate processional.
Tickets will be mailed to graduates two weeks prior to the ceremony. Graduates are responsible for ensuring only four guests per graduate attend their ceremony. To ensure compliance with state capacity limits, additional tickets will not be available. Other family and friends are asked to watch the event livestream from home.
To ensure compliance with state capacity limits, each graduate is limited to four guest tickets. Additional guests cannot be accommodated on campus and are asked to watch the event livestream from home.
The gates will open to guests 15 minutes prior to each ceremony. Guests are asked not to congregate outside of the stadium and to wait until the gates are open to enter.
There is not assigned seating, but guests are limited to areas marked as guest seating in the “home” section of the stadium bleachers. Once your guests have taken their seats, they must remain seated for the duration of the program.
Yes, the school ceremonies have been staggered to allow staff to sanitize the seats between sessions. Seating areas will be treated with electrostatic sprayers to ensure optimum sanitization. We appreciate your patience and ask that guests not attempt to enter the stadium until 15 minutes before each session.
Guests with special needs can be dropped off at Trenton Hall, where golf carts with drivers will provide transportation to Lions Stadium. Graduates may complete the Special Needs Seating Form to request guest tickets to the accessible seating area. Questions? Call 609.771.3077 or email Alanna Gutchigian, manager of conference and event services.
Everyone planning to come to campus must complete a mandatory self-checkup the day of your visit, and only those who receive a resulting “all clear” pass will be permitted to attend the ceremony.

Yes, a livestream of each ceremony will be available via a link on the college’s homepage on May 19–21 or via this website. Recordings of the ceremonies will also be available in the days following the ceremonies.
