What will happen?
USC's commencement ceremonies usually last about 2.5 hours, including a speech from University President Harris Pastides and each student individually receiving his or her diploma. Each student got just five tickets, which had to be claimed before March 31. If you need handicap accessible seating, no special arrangements are required beforehand. Professional photographers will be on-hand and will take pictures of graduates and their guests before the ceremony.
How do I get there?
Parking is available in nearby metered spots and parking lots for free. The Discovery Garage will also be open for those attending ceremonies at the Koger Center or Colonial Life Arena. Those attending ceremonies on the Horseshoe can park in the Pendleton Street Garage. Free shuttles will run from the parking garages.
What if I can't come?
Every graduation ceremony will be livestreamed by the university on its official Facebook page.
