Grad Week Information
A packet of information, including base passes and a Graduation brochure, was mailed to First-Class cadet parents on 8 May 2009. Any returned ('forwarding order expired,' etc.) packets will be sent to the cadet so that they can provide the information to you. If you did not receive a packet, your cadet can pick one up for you; they have been told where they can pick them up. If you need additional parking passes, your cadet will be able to pick them up from their squadron. Please make sure to coordinate your visit with your cadet, as he/she will need to get your graduation ceremony and grad reception tickets and provide them to you upon your arrival.
If you have a handicapped placard from your state, please bring it with you so you can access the handicapped parking area (immediately north of Stillman Parade Field) and the handicapped parking at the stadium on graduation day.
