Candidates for the BA from The

COMMENCEMENT, HARDING UNIVERSITY, DECEMBER 17, 2016 George S. Benson Auditorium, 10 a.m.

1. Commencement will be in the Benson Auditorium. Candidates for degree should assemble in the Science Building by 9:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.

2. Please read carefully: Those marching on the right, between the 200 and 300 sections (ALLIED HEALTH; ARTS & HUMANITIES; Bible-MMIN, BA), will assemble in the NORTH hallway outside of Room 113 of the Science building. You will enter the Benson auditorium through the doors west of the center entrance (to the far right in the lobby).

Those marching in the center, between the 300 and 400 sections (EDUCATION; NURSING; BIBLE-BMIN) will assemble in the CENTER hallway outside of Room 103 of the Science building. You will enter the Benson auditorium through the center doors.

Those marching on the left, between the 400 and 500 sections (BUSINESS; SCIENCE) will assemble in the SOUTH hallway outside of room 116 of the Science building. You will enter the Benson auditorium through the east doors (far left side of the lobby).

3. Line up in the order indicated on the accompanying sheets. Each candidate will be given a card showing their name, degree, and major. This card will be used by the reader to call your name as you proceed across the stage. You must hand the card to the reader, please do not lose it.

4. Undergraduates should have the tassel on your caps on the RIGHT side. Masters and Specialist candidates should have the tassel on your caps on the LEFT side and should be wearing their hoods. Candidates should march single file behind the marshal and turn right into their assigned section (200, 300, and 400, respectively).

5. Remain standing until the processional music stops. After all candidates are in you will be instructed to be seated. Men remove caps before sitting down and leave them off until presented as a group for degrees. Men again remove caps for the closing song and benediction.

6. When degrees are to be conferred, the Provost will ask for all candidates to stand. Remain standing until after the President confers the degrees. The president will ask all graduates to be seated. Follow the direction of the marshal for your section. During the roll call of graduates, you should go up the west side of the stage.

7. The first person in each group will walk to the second tape on the floor in front of the reader. All other candidates will stop at the first tape on the floor at the top of the stairs. When the person in front of you moves across the stage after his/her name is called, hand your card to the reader and step forward to the second tape. As the reader calls your name and major, step forward to shake hands with your dean. Then, march across the stage to the President who will present the diploma cover. As a rule, when there are only five waiting at the foot of the steps, the next row should proceed to get in line. Marshals will help manage the flow of candidates to the stage. Please stand along the wall rather than the front of the stage.

1 After receiving a diploma cover from the President, march on across the stage, changing the tassel from RIGHT to LEFT if you are receiving a bachelor’s degree, go down the steps on the East side and return to your seat. Sit down. Do not wait for your entire row before sitting down.

8. You will receive only a diploma cover from Dr. McLarty. (The diplomas will be mailed by the Registrar within 6 weeks of graduation.)

9. For the recessional, graduates exit after the faculty. Marshals in each section will wait until all faculty have passed the break, and then they will lead their group out.

Always enter and exit rows from east to west: 1. When entering, turn right at the end of your row. 2. When walking to the stage exit right and go back to the break, go left to the west wall and then go left to the stairs on the west side of the stage. Return to your same row and seat from the east wall after exiting the stage, walk toward the west. 3. When leaving, exit to your right, walking out the opposite aisle from the one you entered. Each group will exit through the same door it entered after commencement.

10. When you get in the foyer after the Recessional, PLEASE march on out of the building so that there is room for those who are still marching out.

11. If your name has been omitted inadvertently from the list, please check with the Office of the Provost (501-279-5421) as quickly as possible. If someone listed to march does not show up, close the gap in the line while marching. 12. Men, please wear a dress shirt and tie with dark slacks, socks, and shoes. Ladies, please wear dark clothing and dark shoes. Please do not chew gum.

13. Please ask your parents, family and friends only to applaud when your name is called. Yelling, whistling, etc. drowns out the next name and slows down the process.

14. Please do not decorate your cap or gown in any way or wear any decoration other than approved honor cords. Failure to comply will lead to your being withdrawn from the line of march.

15. If your name is unusual or difficult to pronounce, tell the name reader when you hand her your card if it is not already noted.

Remember the reception in the American Heritage Building, in the back dining rooms of the Heritage Cafeteria, on Friday evening, December 16, beginning at 7 p.m., for graduates and families to visit with some of the faculty and administration.
