Cell Phone Policy During Graduation Ceremony:
To maintain the dignity of the ceremony and to have the graduates' undivided attention, graduates WILL NOT be allowed to have cell phones with them during the ceremony.
Cell phones MUST be left in vehicles or with parents or guests. Students MAY NOT have a cell phone in their possession. This rule will be strictly enforced.
Security Screening: At Akins Ford Arena, guests are required to undergo a security screening. Metal detectors will be set at each entrance for those who are able to step through them. Alternative screenings will be available for expectant mothers, wheelchair-bound guests, and guests who have other medical conditions which restrict them from using metal detectors. All guests entering the venue must go through security. Guests who refuse will not be allowed to attend the event.
Assigned faculty members will check for cell phones along with dress code. If a cell phone is found or seen with a student, it will be confiscated and placed in the front office for pickup on Monday morning after graduation.
