Tickets are not required for admission to the commencement ceremony, and there is no limit on the number of guests that may attend per graduate.
Graduates will be transported by bus to and from 3M Arena at Mariucci; families will take their own transportation to the venue. Graduates should meet at Osseo Senior High by 1:15pm to board buses wearing their caps and gowns. Please note: Graduates may wear only approved commencement regalia (see 2025 Grad Guide link above).
In preparation for commencement, seniors should complete the following:
Required Credits
Advisory Assignments
Chromebook Collection
Fees (including Commencement Fee of $20)
CRC Forms
These tasks will be tracked on a personalized Senior Clearance Form handed out at the mandatory Graduation Assembly during Advisory on Thursday, May 29. When students have completed this form, they will exchange it for their cap and gown packet on their last day of school on Thursday, June 5.
If you have questions or concerns about completing any of these items, please reach out directly to an Osseo administrator.
