Senior Week Activities
Senior Week activities are scheduled for the third week in May. Toward the
end of February 2008 seniors receive "The 2008 Senior Week Booklet,"
outlining all activities, including the Commencement Ball, planned
by the Senior Week Committee under the direction of the Office of the Dean for
Student Development.
Senior Week ticket information is mailed to December graduates in February to
the address on their academic record. For additional information about Senior
Week activities call 617-552-3492. Please check the Senior Week website for
up-to-date information as the 2008 Senior Week schedule will possibly be different
from previous years and will not be finalized until Fall 2007.
ODSD Advisory
on Senior Week Activities
The Dean for Student Development has advised seniors that the University
will not hesitate to take serious disciplinary actions against students for
alcohol abuse, destruction of property, setting fires, or other violations of
University policy. Sanctions could include suspension from housing and/or the
University, ban from Senior Week events (including Commencement), and notification
of parents.
Residence Hall Closing Information
(Move Out)
The University residence halls will officially close at 8:00 p.m. on
Commencement Day. To alleviate prolonged delays and heavy traffic congestion
after the School diploma ceremonies, we request your cooperation with the following
recommendations.
- In advance of Commencement, have the graduate pack and bring or send home
items no longer needed, e.g. winter clothing.
- Encourage the graduate to pack personal belongings during the week before
Commencement and have all in readiness for moving before the Commencement
Exercises.
- Lower Campus roadways are ONE WAY from the entrance at the Igntius Gate to the exit at Edmond's Gate. A map with special directions for moving out of the residence halls and exiting the Campus will be distributed to all gradutes prior to Commencement.
- Leave your car where it is parked until everything is ready for loading.
- Honor the parking permit card given to the graduate by the Boston College Police. This stipulates a 20-30 minute time limit for parking outside the dormitory during the loading of personal belongings.
