[Important Information for Employees] Graduation Event Tickets, Details

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

We apologize for the issues with the college ticketing system for the 2021
graduation events. All requests for tickets have been processed.

*We are able to have a limited number of teaching faculty and staff attend
in seats at each event. You may attend more than one.* We will not have the
traditional walk into the gym, but those in regalia will have socially
distanced seats to watch the ceremonies.

Some other points on the process:

   - Faculty and staff tickets remain for all events. These are available
   now.
   - The 4 p.m. event will not take place. This had the lowest number of
   requests. These graduates have been accommodated.
   - If you have questions on your tickets or wish to move to a different
   time or times, please contact *studentactivities at plattsburgh.edu
   <studentactivities at plattsburgh.edu>*.
   - Tickets will not be available after Friday, May 7.

*Teaching faculty and staff link is
here: https://plattsburgh.universitytickets.com/w/event.aspx?id=1763
<https://plattsburgh.universitytickets.com/w/event.aspx?id=1763>*

We also continue to need volunteers to assist graduates and staff at the
events. If you are able to help, please email
*president_office at plattsburgh.edu* <president_office at plattsburgh.edu>.
Volunteers do not need to get tickets.

*In order to attend the event/s of your choice and volunteer, you must meet
state health requirements.* Questions on specific requirements can be
shared to *healthcenter at plattsburgh.edu* <healthcenter at plattsburgh.edu>.
This means ahead of the graduation event you must complete one of the
following:

   - Completed your COVID-19 vaccine series at least 14 days prior to the
   event. You can show your Excelsior Pass or vaccination card.
   - Provide proof of a negative diagnostic COVID-19 test taken within 72
   hours of the event. It must be a PCR or similar test. Bring
   documentation of the result.
   - Participate in a campus pooled surveillance test being set up for
   Wednesday morning, May 12. We have determined this can meet state
   requirements. Details on this process will be shared later.
   - Provide proof you have fully recovered from a lab-confirmed case of
   COVID-19 in the last three months. This includes proof of your prior
   positive test result and completed order of isolation within the last 90
   days.

*For those volunteering and with tickets and meeting the health
requirements, we ask you to visit pre-check-in tables in the ACC during
Commencement Week. *Details will be shared when available. Attendees will
be given a bracelet corresponding to their event time. You will be required
to arrive a half-hour early for the commencement-day event/s to allow for
screening.

Regalia is available at the Campus Bookstore. For health and safety
reasons, master's degree graduates will wear their hoods into the program
rather than have them presented on stage.

Because of health department guidelines family and friends will not be able
to attend the in-person ceremonies. We will be sharing each graduating
group’s celebration via livestream. Recordings will also be online after
the program.
