Parking
Parking for Camosun's graduation ceremonies is complimentary to our grads and guests in Interurban Campus Lot P8 and half of Lot P5 on the two ceremony days.
Please allow at least a half hour to park and walk to the PISE building. Space is limited, so carpooling is a good option. Handicapped parking spaces are available but must be reserved in advance. Please contact your School office.
Ceremony check-in
- Please arrive 1.5 hours before your ceremony.
- Morning Ceremony: 8:30am for check-in and gown pick up
- Afternoon Ceremony: 1pm for check-in and gown pick up
- Check in at your School's table outside PISE to pick up your name card. You'll need this card when you cross the stage.
- If you haven't already done so, pick up your gown in Room 329. Please allow extra time for this as it will be busy.
- Line up with other grads at 9:15am (morning ceremony) or 1:45pm (afternoon ceremony). Marshals, wearing green gowns, will direct you to your designated area, assemble you alphabetically, and lead you into the gymnasium.
- Enjoy the ceremony – this is your day!
