About 540 undergraduate students will walk across the stage in Moody Coliseum to accept their diplomas Saturday. The two commencement ceremonies are scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Candidates from the College of Arts and Sciences will line up for the first ceremony at 10:30 a.m. in preparation of the 11 a.m. ceremony.

Candidates in the College of Biblical Studies, College of Business Administration, College of Education and Human Services and the Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing will line up 30 minutes before the 3 p.m. ceremony. A reception to honor graduates will follow each ceremony in the mall area.

June Black, records specialist in the registrar’s office, said the exact number of walking graduates won’t be finalized until Wednesday.

“We’re still getting all the information from students set for graduation, and the deadline is Wednesday,” Black said. “There are always a lot of changes in the last few days, but it’s running smoothly.”

Preston Watkins, senior ad/PR major from Manassas, Va., said he’s looking forward to graduating and walking Saturday morning.

“I have mixed emotions because I’m done with school, but it’s sad because everyone’s going their own ways,” Watkins said. “It will be a difficult yet fun transition.”
