Carry-in Policy
Graduates and guests should limit the number of items they bring. Each attendee is allowed one small clutch purse (6.5” x 4.5”) and one large clear bag, either a one-gallon clear gallon-sized storage bag or a 12”x6”x12” clear tote bag. Signage outside the Kohl Center and Camp Randall Stadium will instruct graduates and guests on the building carry-in policy.
All items and guests are subject to search. Storage is not available for checking prohibited items. Items left at gates will be disposed of.
