WHEN SHOULD THE GRADUATES AND GUESTS ARRIVE? Graduates should arrive at the Cabarrus Arena one hour prior to the respective scheduled
graduation ceremony time and follow the instructions for travel and parking as posted at the Arena. The doors for the front entrance of the Arena will be opened for
parents and guests one hour prior to the respective scheduled graduation ceremony. Once the ceremony begins, only one door at the front of the Arena will remain
open and will be monitored throughout the entire time. Parents and guests should also follow the requested routes of travel and signage posted at the Arena
for their designated parking areas. Guests should plan to arrive in plenty of time to park, walk the distance of the parking lot and go through security scanning.
It is important that each ceremony begin on time and we do not want parents and guests to miss this memorable event. Instructions will be reviewed with the
graduating classes at their respective schools. If graduates drive themselves, there will be a designated area close to the drop-off point for parking of graduate
cars only. If graduates ride with parents, they should be dropped off at the designated point and parents should proceed to the designated parking areas for their
appropriate school according to the posted signage.
WHERE SHOULD GUESTS PARK? A plan has been devised to alleviate congestive areas for a smooth traffic flow for all ceremonies being conducted.
Guests should follow the signage posted and the directions provided by the law enforcement officials who will be directing traffic.
