Hello
Graduating Seniors!
If you plan on participating in the 2014 CCJS
Commencement Ceremony, please read the important announcements below, and
forward this information to any and all interested parties.
Time/Location
The CCJS
Departmental commencement ceremony will be held Thursday, May 22, 2014 at
2:00PM in the Cole Student Activities Building. The ceremony will
last approximately 90 minutes. All students participating in the
commencement ceremony must arrive by 1:00PM. This should give
students enough time to travel from the Comcast Center to Cole if they are
planning on attending the campus-wide commencement ceremony the same day.
Additional information about the location of the student meeting room will be
provided as the date approaches.
Tickets
No
tickets are required for the CCJS departmental ceremony. You are welcome to invite as many
guests as you would like to the individual ceremony.
The
campus-wide university ceremony will be held the same day at 10:00AM in the
Comcast Center. Tickets are required for guests at this ceremony.
Information about the campus-wide ceremony can be found at www.commencement.umd.edu.
Parking
Free parking for you and your guests will be available in any
numbered lot or parking garage on campus. Recommended parking closest to
Cole is available in Lots 1, Z, and the Union Lane Parking Garage. There
are handicapped parking spots available in these lots and directly in front of
Cole, but spaces are limited.
For guests

chair accessible entrance will be able to park in in a designated parking area.

volunteer (wearing name tags) when you arrive for assistance. If additional

Cap,
Gowns, and Announcements
In order to participate in the commencement ceremonies, students must
purchase academic regalia at the University Book Center. Please note that
the undergraduate CCJS majors earn a Bachelor of Arts, not science. The
University Book Center is the official supplier of commencement regalia for the
university, with Oak Hall as the official provider. Caps, gowns, hoods,
tassels, invitations, diploma frames and other commemorative accessories are
available in the center.
