May 17 & 18, 2024

These events will be held indoors. At this time, here is what you can expect:

  • There will be no restrictions on the number of attending guests.
  • Graduates will be invited to walk across the stage while their names are called.
  • Doors will open for each event approximately one hour prior to the start of the ceremony. 
  • At the culmination of the ceremony, graduates and their guests should plan to meet outside the venue. The facility will need to be cleared in order for sanitation to take place before the following ceremony.
  • LSU's clear bag policy is in effect for all athletic venues to prioritize public safety while streamlining the screening and entry process. Only CLEAR tote bags smaller than 12” x 6” x 12” will be allowed into LSU Athletics venues. One-gallon clear plastic bags and/or small handheld clutch purses, not larger than 4.5” X 6.5”, will also be allowed to enter. All backpacks, regardless of size, are prohibited. Exceptions will only be made for those with approved medical needs. All bags are subject to search and inspection. Reminder, diaper bags that do not meet the clear bag policy guidelines will not be admitted. For more information, please visit LSUsports.net/geauxsafe.
