When you pick up your regalia, make sure you have 4 pieces: a gown with a working zipper that fits you correctly, a tam (not the undergraduate cap), a tassel and a hood. On graduation day, do not wear the hood. You will be hooded on stage. Make sure the hood is unbouttoned, and carry it draped over your left arm. On stage, after handing the reader the card with your name, proceed to the next available hooder, and after that meet the Dean for your diploma. Transportation and parking: Everyone is encouraged to park at the Camden County Parking deck, next to the law school at 6th and Penn Streets, or at Lot 7 on the waterfront. There will be buses in front of the law school to transport graduates, family and friends from 11:00 am to noon.

There will be buses at Parking Lot 7, Delaware Avenue and Cooper Street shuttling back and forth to Susquehanna Bank Center from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. There is also parking at the Susquehanna Center. After the ceremony: Those who are unable to march may use the buses to return to campus.

The Guest Speaker: Special accommodations for Graduation Ceremony: Susquehanna Bank Center Stage and Audience Map Awarding of diplomas: Where to report, line up, etc. Graduates should report to the SBC, in the Ben Franklin lobby, at noon to line up in alphabetical order for procession. Each graduate will receive an index card when checking in, which is to be presented to the Reader on stage, with the name of the graduate, pronunciation, and whether the person received honors or is having the diploma presented by a family member who is a graduate of the law school. Lists of which graduates are in which row will be posted. Graduates march in after the faculty and stage guests, and sit in the "pit" area. Line leaders will lead graduates to their rows. When they arrive at their seat, graduates will sit down until all graduates are seated. When each graduate marches on stage, the card should be given to the Reader, who will read the name as the graduate proceeds to hand the hood to the first available Hooder on stage. After hooding, the graduate meets the Dean on stage to receive the diploma, has photos taken, and returns to sit. After the ceremony: the graduates will stand as the Dean leads the faculty and guests off stage. The faculty marches out of the SBC between Sections 103 and 104 and to the Ben Franklin lobby(see SBC map above). The graduates will march alongside the Dean and Faculty to the Ben Franklin lobby, and then back to the law school.
March to the law school Faculty, and graduates will march from the Susquehanna Center to campus along the waterfront (weather permitting). All family members and guests are invited to join the march. Those unable to march may use the shuttles provided (see transportation, above). 3:00 pm: Reception A reception will be held at the Law School, on the Law Bridge and on the Terrace, from the end of the ceremony to 4 pm.
