We are proud to invite our 2023 baccalaureate candidates to participate in the University’s Commencement Ceremony May 5th in the Greensboro Coliseum.

• Commencement is both a joyful as well as dignified event. We ask that you express your excitement in ways that will not prevent others from hearing the speakers and enjoying the ceremony. Any distracting noisemakers, such as air horns, are prohibited and will be confiscated by Coliseum security.
• Guests will be required to enter the Coliseum through a metal detector. Click here to view a full list of prohibited items and the Coliseum bag policy.

• Security and emergency medical personnel will be available to provide a safe environment for all commencement participants and guests.
• All electronic devices should be turned off to help ensure that all guests can hear and enjoy the ceremony.
