Degree recipients should arrive at the Cintas Center between 7:45 - 8:15 a.m. on Saturday, May 17 and enter the assembly area inside the Cintas Center at the west entrance marked Kohlhepp Family Auxiliary Gym. Guests should enter the main front entrance (south side) of the Cintas Center.

Each candidate should obtain a name card that indicates a row/position according to college and degree. After taking your position in the line of march, remain in place and keep your name card. The name card will be used for reading your name when you walk across the stage. Marshals will direct participants at appropriate times throughout the ceremony. No rehearsal is required.

Personal property should not be left in the assembly area. Xavier University cannot be responsible for missing articles.

The candidate seating diagram will be posted on the concourse of the Cintas Center the day of the commencement ceremony. The seating for candidates is arranged by degree within Honors Bachelor of Arts, Service Fellows, University Scholars, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Social Sciences, Health, and Education and the Williams College of Business.

Undergraduates should return to and remain in their seats once they have received their diplomas.

We estimate the undergraduate ceremony to last approximately two to two-and-one-half hours.

The ceremony will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m.
