Construction out front is going to be expanding its footprint as the school year comes to a close. Starting May 23, the front (east) parking lot will be shut down and all visitors will need to park in the West parking lot (Student Parking Lot). From there, please enter the campus through the courtyard to enter the building.

This year seating for guests of Desert Edge graduates will be open to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis for the first 11,000 guests. There will be no assigned/ticketed seating for guests.

Attendees will not be permitted to bring balloons, glass vases, or containers. At no time will guests be allowed to assemble outside the graduate gate area. All State Farm Stadium policies are expected to be followed while on their premises.

Cap & Gown Pickup: Josten's was on site Monday, March 14th to distribute cap & gowns that were ordered in the fall. If your student already ordered a cap & gown through Josten's but missed the pickup event on Monday, please have them stop by the Bookstore to see if their order was left with us.
