USAFA Graduation Week 2013
23-29 May 2013


Grad week information will be e-mailed to cadet parents/guests who register via the Graduation Registration site; the registration page will be active by 1 April 2013 (link will be in left navigation column). Information includes the Graduation brochure, schedule of events, Superintendent letter and parking pass. All items may be printed at home. If you are not able to print the items, please ask your cadet to print the documents and send them to you or provide them upon your arrival.

Please make sure to coordinate your visit with your cadet, as he/she will need to pick up your graduation ceremony tickets. Cadets will receive as many Grad Ceremony tickets as they need for their guests.

You may download a printable copy of the Graduation Schedule of Events and Graduation Brochure. These and other .pdf formatted files can be viewed and printed using the free Adobe ® Acrobat ® Reader which can be downloaded at this link to the Adobe Web Site.
