Information for Marching Faculty

2020 Spring and Summer Information

Important Commencement Update

Due to the fluidity of the current circumstances, our event operations could be impacted and are subject to change. Please check this website for updates as they become available.

This information is for those marching in the 2020 Spring and Summer commencement ceremony on the Dahlonega Campus. You will enter the doors at the bottom level of the Convocation Center by taking the blocked road between the Center and the Alumni House. You may also follow the graduate check-in signs (grads will be on the event level). Once you check in, our Marching Faculty team will direct you to room 118 on the event level. Commencement Staff will give you instruction for marching once you have arrived in the room.

  • Please arrive 45 minutes prior to your ceremony.
  • If you need to rent or purchase regalia, please review the information below before the June 18, 2020 deadline.
  • Faculty can rent regalia on the Herff Jones Website through June 18, 2020. 
  • Rental regalia will be delivered to the Bookstore campus location you select when ordering online and will be available for pick up approximately one week prior to Commencement.
  • Lifetime fine quality regalia can also be purchased, but remember it takes 6-8 weeks to deliver from the time of order. If you wish to purchase fine quality regalia you can do so on the Herff Jones Website for Academic Regalia.
  • Please note bags will be searched prior to entering the Convocation Center. Please review the prohibited items list. Marching Faculty members are discouraged from bringing belongings as there will not be a place to put them. Marching Faculty members are not permitted in the grad line-up area.

Parking Information

An interactive parking map is below for your reference. Please note that heavy traffic is predicted for the ceremony. The event parking map shows that you, as participants, should park in the Newton Oakes Lot (L16) or Memorial Hall Lot (L19). The Blue Shuttle will be running to the Convocation Center. Please note that any of the parking areas not reserved can be utilized (around drill field, College Circle, etc.) but please expect to walk to the Center from any of these other locations. Be sure to allow for plenty of arrival time due to the high volume of traffic.
