To respect the significance of this occasion, CFCC reserves the right to ask any individual to remove any adornments deemed disruptive, harassing, inappropriate, or to be a safety risk or distraction prior to entering the commencement venue. Refusal or failure to comply, an individual may be asked to leave the college premises immediately.<\/p> <\/div> <h6>Seating Arrangements<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Graduates will not be lined up alphabetically.
