Tickets

Each graduate will be allocated 5, free tickets for this year’s commencement ceremony. Graduates who would like additional tickets are encouraged to speak with other graduates who may not be using all their allocated tickets. Additional guests who are not able to sit in the auditorium are welcome to watch the livestream and celebrate with our graduates around campus before and after the ceremony.

Attire

Business casual attire is appropriate under the gown. Flat soled shoes are recommended in the event the processional lines up outdoors on grass. Extended periods of standing should be expected so comfort is the order of the day.

Regalia (cap, gown, tassel) should be ordered from Herff Jones by Wednesday, March 26. It should be shipped to a personal address, either campus or home. Montreat College will not manage regalia and does not keep extra regalia in stock. Optionally, undergraduates (associate’s and bachelor candidates) may wear a matte black high school cap and gown.

Tip: The gown should be removed from its packaging and ironed or steamed to remove wrinkles. Professional dry cleaners can iron gowns for a fee.
