The ceremony begins in the Horseshoe at 9 a.m. and continues until shortly after 11 a.m. In case of adverse weather, an announcement will be made by the university on local media stations by 7 a.m. that morning, and the ceremony will move to The Citadel's McAlister Field House and begin at 11 a.m. Instructions on both the Horseshoe and the McAlister ceremonies will be included with your cap and gown package. Candidates for graduation may pick up invitations between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at Enrollment Services, 41 Bee St. Beginning May 1 through May 18 caps and gowns, plus general instructions, may be picked up between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. in room 107 of the Library/Administration Building.
