Attire Advice Wear shoes that are comfortable and easy to maneuver in Secure your cap with pins Wear attire with pockets (to carry keys, phone & camera) Leave wallet or purse inside of the car or with your guest Check the weather so you can dress and prepare accordingly Wear something sleek (so your clothes will wear comfortably under the robe)

  5. Restroom Access Be sure to visit the restroom BEFORE coming to the Manning Center if at all possible and tell your guests to do the same. The lines can become long outside the facilities. Buildings open for Restrooms: Lyceum Coulter Hall Faser Hall Brevard Hall Carrier Hall Hume Hall Student Union Farley Hall Shoemaker Hall Track Concession: Building (near Manning Center)

  6. Tassel Undergrad students’ tassels should correspond to the students’ area of study Undergrad tassels are worn on the right initially. Change them to the left after walking across the stage to receive your diploma cover (or you will be prompted when to change your tassel) Graduate students wear their tassels to the left throughout See commencement website for the list of tasselcolorswww.olemiss.edu/commencement

  7. Things To Remember • Make sure you have your name card/reader card with you Write your e-mail address on the BACK of your name/reader card so the photographer can send your proofs electronically. Reader cards are distributed at ceremony venues/facilities • Carry your name/reader card with you when it’s your turn to walk across the stage. It’s the only way anyone will know who you are. Graduate’s names are NOT read from a list. • Don’t forget to return your gown There will be a covered truck for depositing your caps and gowns as you exit the ceremony facility
