Why we’re moving to 3 ceremonies

Iowa State University is proud to be a student-centric research university, and we made this decision to provide you the opportunity to invite as many guests as you wish to cheer you on as you cross the stage.

Had we offered only two ceremonies, as was the original plan and with a record number of students participating, it would have been necessary for each student to limit the number of guests joining them in Hilton Coliseum.  And once we had reached capacity, guests would have been redirected to overflow locations where the ceremony would have been viewed livestream.

We understand these changes may affect your plans and those of family and friends, and we appreciate your understanding.

**  Please Note:  There is no tailgating allowed at the commencement ceremonies.**
