Parents & guests

Fall commencement 2009 will be held at 6 p.m. Dec. 8 in the Columbus Civic Center, 400 Fourth St. All of the colleges within the university will participate in this ceremony.

Seating for guests will begin at 4:30 p.m. Please arrive early, as traffic will be heavy and parking may take longer than you expect.

Photographs
Commencement photographs will be taken of each graduate crossing the dais by a representative of a private company, Graduation Images.  Within three to seven days a complimentary proof will be made available to all students who have registered online with the company by visiting www.gradimages.com and clicking on the Pre-Event Email Registration link to designate Columbus State and enter their contact information. If the student enters additional e-mail addresses for parents or other relatives, they also will have access to the digital proofs. Orders may then be placed online at www.gradimages.com or by calling 800-424-3686.
