Commencement Information for Faculty Members

Thank you for participating in the commencement celebration for our graduating master's and doctoral students.

The following information is intended for faculty both hooding their students and for those who just wish to attend.

Logistics

Faculty should plan on arriving to the East Field house gym area between 8 - 8:30 a.m. to line up and process to the field with their student(s). Even if you are not hooding anyone, you will sit together with other faculty and students in the first rows of the audience.

If you are hooding a doctoral student, you will need to sit with them or reconvene with them behind the stage. Please watch this UCSC Doctoral hooding video to know what to expect and how to hood your student. If you are hooding multiple students, the students should line up together (i.e. they will cross one after another) and you will enter the stage with your first student and remain on stage until all of them are hooded.
