I am looking at the schedule for S’s college graduation. They have both a commencement ceremony and a Diploma and Hooding ceremony. The commencement is the entire university and requires tickets. It says it lasts 2 hours. Their is a separate hooding and diploma ceremony in the afternoon for each College of the University. This requires no tickets. Each student is allotted 4 tickets for the commencement. We will need 6. Son can request addition tickets.
I am wondering if the grandparents and sibling really want and need to attend both ceremonies. I know for my 16 yr old she is going to be bored. Each ceremony is around 2 hours long.
This is our first graduate. Any feedback? I guess I am getting old but I don’t remember having two ceremonies when I graduated.
