For those with tickets, here are some reminders from the venue:
* Please remember the clear bag policy at First National Bank Arena. This applies to all attendees, including graduates.
* No flowers, gifts, or balloons will be allowed inside the arena.
* Children 2 years of age and younger do not require a ticket but must sit in the lap of an adult during the ceremony. They may not sit in one of the seats if they are a lap child.
* All people attending the ceremony at FNBA must wear a mask per the guidelines set forth by ASU.
* Those who are on the floor (graduates) will not be able to meet up with family members in the seating sections after the ceremony. Also, those who are in the seats to watch the ceremony will not be allowed on the floor after the ceremony. Family members will need to meet up with their child who is graduating outside of the arena after the ceremony.
