Graduation ceremonies begin in exactly one week for the Cal State Long Beach class of 2017 and for those attending. Here’s a brief rundown of what the week will look like courtesy of the university’s website.

All ceremonies will be held outdoors on the Central Quad next to the University Library and are expected to last about two hours. Both guests and students must remain seated throughout the entire ceremony and may not stand in the aisle or block the views of others for photo purposes.

For the Health and Human Services, Liberal Arts, Business Administration and Arts ceremonies, each graduate is allotted eight tickets for friends and family, as these are the largest ceremonies.

For those with small children, CSULB recommends watching the ceremonies via the live-streaming room, which doesn’t require a ticket. While tickets aren’t needed for Tuesday’s ceremonies, students are asked to abide by the honor system and limit the number of guests to eight.
