Important Senior Events
Mark your calendars for key senior events:
- Commencement Rehearsal – on Shellenberger Field
- Senior Class Photo – Immediately after rehearsal
- Baccalaureate – in Snidow Chapel
- Candlelight Ceremony & Champagne Toast – in Snidow Chapel/Friendship Circle
On Commencement Day, arrive one hour before your ceremony for check-in (refer to the Schedule of Events for details). Dress comfortably—no narrow or spiked heels on the athletic field—and don’t forget sunscreen. Bring your regalia (cap, gown, cords, and sashes).
Guest tickets are not required unless inclement weather moves the ceremony indoors (see the Inclement Weather Plan for details). The ceremony will last approximately 1.5 hours, and graduates are expected to stay for the entire event out of respect for their peers. Family and friends can watch the live stream at lynchburg.edu and on the Commencement homepage.
